La Hija Del Engaño
''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. It is based on the farce ''Don Quintín, el amargao'' by Carlos Arniches and Antonio Estremera. The film is part of the "generic, assembly-line pictures that Buñuel was offered to direct" while he was making films in Mexico. 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. As a result, it is the only work of which Buñuel 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.

Films Directed By Luis Buñuel
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...
