The Salvation of Pisco Gabar And Other Stories
“It was hard to come by amusement in that little Spanish town. On a Friday there was an organ recital in the church. On a Saturday there was often a boxing match.

On all the other days there was nothing to pass the evening but the popular amusement of walking up and down the station pl...atform and watching the trains. Ramon was as bored as I. He was an engineer—a hearty Spaniard of the new school, with a horror of sentiment, politics, and provincialism. His countrymen found Ramon a little too frigid for their taste. To the Anglo-Saxon he was delightful.

The film was called A Strong Man’s Agony.MoreLess
