Another Instance Given: Actors Lack Protection Of Spain’s Labor Laws
Madrid, July 28, 1964
Another law
suit accelerating clarification of the Spanish film actor’s statusless position
under existing labor laws was instituted by screen actor Antonio Vico last
week.
Signed by
Ocean Films for a co-starring role in the current Clint Eastwood starrer. “Ray
the Magnificent,” Vico produced a bonafide contract to the Labor Tribunal
claiming 80,000 pesetas ($1,250) in back salary despite producer’s failure to
call for his services during production.
Ocean’s
defense lawyer Luis de Leon recognized validity of (the) contract, but none the less
requested dismissal of suit on the grounds that Spanish actors laws and
therefore not competent to seek legal redress before the labor tribunal.
Actors’ wing of the Sindicato has been pressuring Spain’s law-decreers to rectify the performer’s inexplicable civil citizen status and give them equal protection.
[Vico was replaced in “Ray the Magnificent” (Fistful of
Dollars) by Josef Egger.]
