Woody Allen movie sparks controversy in Spain

Woody Allen has sparked controversy in Spain - because his new movie 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' will be shown in English, even though both of the film's leading actors are of Spanish descent.

The film - starring Spanish actors Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem - will instead have Spanish subtitles over the original English language version when it is released in September.

But the move has upset natives because 10% of the film's budget has come from Barcelona city hall and taxpayers in the Catalonia region.

It is not the first time the movie has upset the Spanish nationals - the film's co-producer Jaume Roures attacked what he said was the "small-minded attitude" of local politicians and press, who complained that Allen received special treatment during filming in Barcelona.
