Orson Welles' narration of the original version of The Spanish Earth (1937), considered too emphatic by the film's producers, led to the organization of this first release version narrated by Ernest Hemingway. Minor changes were made to the spoken text; also the removal of praise for the Popular Front, which at the time of its formation included factions that went against Moscow's orthodoxy.
