Rico and his fiancée watched
The Time in Between, a Spanish (
El tiempo entre costuras) mini-series on
Netflix:
Sira Quiroga is a young Spanish dressmaker engaged to a solid suitor when a suave typewriter salesman upends her life. Spain is being ravaged by its Civil War and the Franco regime's growing alliances with Nazi Germany. Smart, gutsy, and resourceful, with a Scarlett O'Hara-like ability to whip up designer duds on a moment's notice, Sira has spunk. Sira gains and loses a small fortune, is dumped by her cad of a lover in Morocco, runs guns to get the cash to start her life anew in Madrid, Spain, and becomes the couturier to the Nazi wives stationed in Madrid. Urged on by her friend, the real-life British spy Rosalinda Fox, Sira, too, aids the British cause.
Rico says, though no one mentioned her facial scars in sixteen episodes,
Adriana Ugarte (no relation to
Señor Ugarte, played by
Peter Lorre in
Casablanca) is still one of the most beautiful women on the screen:
