Notes
- Original screenplay co-written with José Rubia Barcia with an uncredited adaptation by Antonio Simón & Lino Braxe.
- Buñuel founded during the Second Spanish Republic, the film company "Filmofono" where there were made films that appeal to a mainstream and popular audience and were completely different than his previous art films that he was known fo. Despite remaining uncredited, he supervised and was heavily involved in most of the production aspects (that includes directing, screenplay, production and editing).
