"Susana"
1951
Directed by Luis Bunuel

Rosita Quintana stars as Susana, a beautiful young temptress who escapes from prison and is taken in by an unsuspecting family.  She seduces each principle male character, finally stealing the "master" from his wife and causing discord between father and son.  Despite the conventional melodramatic structure, Susana displays Bunuel's surreal fascination with the illusion of conventions. Spanish with English subtitles.
87 minutes.
