The Brute is a brawny slaughterhouse worker who relies more on muscle than brainpower. He's hired by a landlord to intimidate his unwanted tenants into moving but ends up seducing the daughter of one of them, much to the annoyance of the landlord's wife, with whom he's also having an affair. Gorgeously photographed by Agustn̕ Jimňez and full of plot twist, this should be on any noir lovers' shortlist.
