"The Great Madcap"
1949
Directed by Luis Bunuel

Bunuel's hilarious portrait of the hypocrisy of the middle class centers on the disastrous results of a wealthy man's spendthrift habits and womanizing on his family. Hopin to teach him a lesson, his family pretends that his fortune is gone and that they must now live in poverty.  An elegant satire on class, sex, advertising and the reverse exploitation of the ruling elite. Spanish with English subtitles.
90 minutes.
