Thank you aleC, it is a very interesting question...

I don't know myself all the ins and outs... but I know for sure that CENSORSHIP during Franco's times was the main cause... i.e., the dialogue could be easily ALTEREED to serve a political cause... less than "pure"... I forgot specific examples, but there is one in Casablanca (H. Bogart), where a reference to the Spanish troops, got completely changed... without no Spaniard even noticing or being aware of it...

These things made the "dubbing" industry one of the most "professionals" in Spain... As a I said, this is just an example, there may be a lot more of factors...
