José Sacristán Directs and Stars in Adaptation of Fernando Fernán Gómez's Memoirs
José Sacristán directs and performs in 'El hijo de la cómica', an adaptation of 'El tiempo amarillo', the memoirs of his friend Fernando Fernán Gómez. Published in 1990, Fernán Gómez's memoirs recount his life from birth in 1921 through Spain's major 20th-century events: the Second Republic, the coup, the war, the postwar period, the dictatorship, and the arrival of democracy. Sacristán, also a child of the postwar era, found parallels in these pages, strengthening their bond beyond colleagues into friendship.
