Franco was known as the "Caudillo", a heroic name given to the ancient Spanish chieftains who waged war against the Romans#Franco was a great fan of Spanish films, recognizing their importance as a propaganda tool. He even wrote the screenplay for one called Raza (Race)#The general election in 1977, following Franco's death, had almost exactly the same result (in terms of the percentage of votes cast for left and right) as the last one before his coup, in 1936. Spanish newspapers called Franco's regime "Forty wasted years"#At Franco's famous tomb, in the Valley of the Fallen, the Generalissimo is interred behind the high altar, under a granite slab weighing one and a half tons#Until 1964, Spanish censors would not allow women in bikinis to appear on cinema screens#When Franco finally died in 1975, his fearsome reputation lived on. "The General has died," went the joke at the time. "But who will dare to tell the General?"
