Gran Casino

A strange woman rolls into a strange town. Her name is Mercedes and she is a woman in search of the truth, a woman in search of justice. Taking on a fake identity, Mercedes manages to gain employment as a singer at a local casino, the same casino where her brother, a wealthy oil well owner, had mysteriously disappeared. Was he murdered, and if so by whom and for what reason? Was it a deadly game of power play? Could it have been the young business manager who’s taken her brother’s place or is there a bigger puzzle to unravel? The visionary, mischievous master of surreal satire, Luis Buñuel, mixes up an exotic cocktail of suspense, thriller, romance, melodrama and social commentary to create his own individual take on the Hollywood musical.
