Primer Plano was a Spanish film magazine established on 20 October 1940.[1] The founder was a Falange member Manuel Augusto García Viñolas.[2] It was published on a weekly basis.[3] The Falange-influenced publication struck a balance between its coverage of film stars and film reviews,[4] as well as the role of entertainment and film in society.[5]

Primer Plano ceased publication with the October 1963 issue.[6]
