"Illusion Travels by Streetcar"
1953
Directed by Luis Bunuel

Illusion tells the story of two young employees of a public  transportation company in Mexico City--driver and conductor--who get drunk at a local festival and decide to take a girl on one last trip on a train about to be retired from service. This results in a number of hilarious incidents and unexpected adventures.  Shot in something like two weeks, to pay grocery bills (one of five features turned out during Bunuel's very active 1952-53 period). Spanish with English subtitles.
90 minutes.
