Still a minor, though. Dona Flor... was made in 1976 but it premiered in Cuba in 1986, so, yes, I was fifteen. I remember a classmate of mine at the old Saul Delgado College in Vedado slagging the movie because of the nude scenes, which come to think of it were not that many. The DJ must have been one from Radio Ciudad de la Habana because that was the radio station that my generation was getting into. "El Programa de Ramon", "La Discoteca de Juanito Camacho". Those were the programmes I used to listen to in those years.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-56068158578364580002013-03-21T18:54:17.236+00:002013-03-21T18:54:17.236+00:00If your biggest crime with a fake ID was slipping ...If your biggest crime with a fake ID was slipping into the cinema, I doubt the authorities would complain.
