Daughter of Deceit
1951 Mexican film
Daughter of Deceit (Spanish: La hija del engaño) is a 1951 Mexican film directed by Luis Buñuel, written by Luis and Janet Alcoriza and starring Fernando Soler, Alicia Caro and Fernando Soto.[1] It is based on the farce Don Quintín, el amargao by Carlos Arniches and Antonio Estremera.[2]
The film is part of the "generic, assembly-line pictures that Buñuel was offered to direct" while he was making films in Mexico.[2] Buñuel had previously been a scriptwriter, although uncredited, for an earlier film adaptation of Don Quintín, el amargao made in his native Spain in 1935.[1][2][3][4][5] As a result, it is the only work of which Buñuel made two versions.
