Condemned (Spanish: Condenados) is a Spanish 1953 rural melodrama film directed by Manuel Mur Oti and written by José Suárez Carreño and Mur Oti from a Suarez Carreño's play of the same title.[1] The picture stars Carlos Lemos, Aurora Bautista and José Suárez.
Mur Oti achieved a very elaborate and aestheticist, yet implausible, product.
Plot[]
An aging and wealthy farmer (Lemos) sees how his young wife (Bautista) falls increasingly attracted to a newly hired and handsome laborer (Suarez). The conflict ends up unavoidably in a murder of passion.
Cast[]
- Aurora Bautista - Aurelia

Carlos Lemos was a very prominent stage actor, and this was one of his few film appearances. Aurora Bautista was by then the Spanish Queen of melodrama, while José Suárez was one of the main heartthrobs of the Spanish screens.
