Comments

This film puts out of order conventions and the propriety of the middle-class at the time of an unceasingly differed meal: the archbishop is made engage, with the union rate, as gardener and the ambassador, like a dog, devours a section of leg under the table.
Conventions of the cinema are they-even called into question, when the actor-guests discover that they are in the middle of a scene of theater.

However, the poster of film, streetwalker, imposed by the distributer, was not at all taste of Shine Buñuel, which wished to define itself the provocations that it exposed to the public.

The young man tortured in the police station is interpreted by Christian Pagès
