FAQ

The first half of the remake is remarkably similar to the original, save for an added prologue that humorously retells the history of the gypsies, and a medieval segment in which an ancestor of Don Enrique puts an ancestor of Trinidad on trial, where she puts a curse on him. These characters, played by the same actors than their modern counterparts, will appear in ghostly form throughout the movie, breaking the fourth wall by directly talking to the audience.

The second half, however, is radically different. Two main subplots in the original, one about Don Elías (who in the 1936 version was Enrique's father and not a judge, unlike in the remake) being blackmailed by a former lover about a daughter they had out of wedlock (something the Franco censorship wouldn't allow to be shown in the remake) and another about an accused criminal trying to bribe Don Enrique into lifting his sentence, disappear in the remake along with their related characters, and are replaced by a Pygmalion-like plot about Don Enrique trying to de-gypsy-ize Trini.

Also, while Miguel Ligero reprises his character of Regalito from the original, he's made to be Trini's uncle instead of her brother, to account for the age difference. Due to the Franco censorship, the reference to him living with a woman without being married is absent from this version.
