Holmes & Watson. Madrid Days

Alberto Ruiz Gallardón, then major of Madrid, plays his own great-uncle, composer Isaac Albéniz, at his own request: When director José Luis Garci approached the town hall of Madrid to get their consent to film there, he showed the script as a proof; after reading the script, the Major phoned Garci, asked if he had already casted Albéniz, and offered to play the role himself.
