Luis Buñuel

Luis Buñuel Portoles (February 22, 1900 – July 29, 1983) was a Spanish-born Mexican filmmaker.

Hollywood era

After the Spanish Civil War Buñuel emigrated to the United States. After working in the film archives of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Buñuel moved to Hollywood to capitalize on the short-lived fad of producing completely new foreign-language versions of hit films for sales abroad. After Buñuel worked on a few Spanish-language remakes, the industry turned instead to simple re-dubbing of dialogue.
