Two of Mexicos finest actors star in this fiery melodrama by master director Luis Buuel. Pedro Armendariz (Maria Candelaria; Three Godfathers) plays a physically strong but simple-minded slaughterhouse worker who is hired by a brutal landlord to evict unwanted tenants. His life is complicated when he falls for the slumlords seductive wife played by Ariel-winner Katy Jurado (Broken Lance; High Noon). Bold brutal and blistering THE BRUTE is a highlight of Buuels Mexican period in which he fit his themes and ideas into the popular Mexican melodrama.

Spanish maestro Luis Bunuel directs this early 1950s surrealist social melodrama. When tyrannical landlord Don Andres (Andres Soler) hires tough but simple-minded slaughterhouse labourer Pedro 'El Bruto' (Pedro Armendariz) to evict a group of poor residents from some slums on his land, he is dismayed to discover that Pedro has become an object of desire not only for his strong-willed young wife, Paloma (Katy Jurado), but also for Meche (Rosa Arenas), the sweet-natured daughter of one of Andres' wronged tenants.
