In the case of movies, the translation of the tittle is useless for 
finding the movie in Spain, because here they have the custom of 
altering them beyond belief.

So I seek for the English article, then I hit the selector for other 
languages, and thus find what is the actual Spanish title for the same 
movie. If the article does not exist, there is a chance that the movie 
did not make to theatres here.

Another trick is locating with Google the movie entry for Filmaffinity, 
click on it, which will automatically find the localized name, which in 
this case it is "La pasión ciega", or The Blind Passion.
