In the movie, they added a long subplot about a flamenco dancer who wants to become a bullfighter to win a girl's affection, and he is trained by Manolete, who shortly after he helps the young man, he is killed in the ring, which inspires the dancer to perform one final bullfight to honor Manolete. In real life, Manolete was killed in the ring in Spain in 1947. His death came as a great shock to Spain and dictator Franco ordered three days of mourning where only funeral dirges were played on the radio!.
