Wikipedia article




'Daughter of Deceit' (Spanish: 'La hija del engao') is a 1951 Mexican film directed by Luis Buuel, written by Luis and Janet Alcoriza and starring Fernando Soler, Alicia Caro and Fernando Soto. It is based on the farce 'Don Quintn, el amargao' by Carlos Arniches and Antonio Estremera.

The film is part of the "generic, assembly-line pictures that Buuel was offered to direct" while he was making films in Mexico. Buuel had previously been a scriptwriter, although uncredited, for an earlier film adaptation of 'Don Quintn, el amargao' made in his native Spain in 1935. As a result, it is the only work of which Buuel made two versions.

Plot



Don Quintin, a man who is always having economic problems, one day comes home to find his wife in bed with another man. He begins having doubts about the paternity of his daughter and decides to leave. Years later he decides to find her.
