The legendary Spanish television series Curro Jiménez , which aired primarily between 1976 and 1978

Based on the request, I have developed a concept for a premium streaming feature designed specifically for the classic series Curro Jiménez.
Since "91" likely refers to the year 1991 (associated with the colorized re-releases or specific broadcasts) or simply a typo for the 1970s original, this feature focuses on the technical and historical duality of the series.
The Concept: A seamless, user-controlled toggle that allows viewers to switch between the Original 1976 Broadcast Version (Grainy, 4:3 Aspect Ratio, Mono Audio) and the 1991 "Remastered" Colorized Version (Vibrant, Higher Contrast, Stereo Mix) in real-time, without leaving the episode.
Why this feature? Curro Jiménez is a legendary Spanish television icon. However, there is a divide between purists who want the gritty, original film stock aesthetic and modern audiences who prefer the cleaner, color-corrected look that became popular in the early 90s reruns. This feature bridges that gap.
