Luis Buñuel was the second director to adapt Octave Mirbeau's novel about an opportunistic chambermaid -- Jean Renoir's version was filmed in 1946. The plot follows Célestine
(Jeanne Moreau), a maid at an upper-class French household and her encounters with its denizens: a womanizing patriarch with a foot fetish, his frigid, stingy daughter and her pathetic husband, and
the jingoistic, murderous servant who wants to marry her. Also with Georges Géret, Daniel Ivernel, Françoise Lugagne, and Muni. Directed by Luis Buñuel. [N/A - 1:38]
