Summary: As I watched this 1952 Mexican film by Luis Bunuel, I thought it was just an updated version of Shakespeare's Othello, albeit an excellent version of Othello. But Bunuel is too great an artist to be ordinary. The acting of Arturo De Cordova, who is the perfect picture of jealousy gone mad, and the rest of the cast is excellent. I strongly recommend this film to Bunuel fans, as well as lovers of foreign film. The surrealistic ending alone is worth the price of admission.
