Description: "An aristocrat named Nobile invites several society friends to his house after the opera. But even as the dinner preparations are underway, servants feel compelled to leave. Despite threats of dismissal, the footman also leaves, and, as guests arrive, other servants escape. Dinner is served and hours pass, but the guests do not leave. Finally, each refusing to be the first to leave the party, distrust sets in, and the guests turn on their host, blaming him for their self-induced captivity."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: "Adapted by Luis Buñuel from Los náufragos de la Calle de la Providencia, a cinedrama by Buñuel and Luis Alcoriza, suggested by an unpublished play by José Bergamin"--p. 5
