The Proud and the Beautiful (French: Les Orgueilleux, sub-title: Alvarado, aka The Proud Ones) is a 1953 drama film directed by Yves Allégret. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Story (the nomination officially went to Jean-Paul Sartre), but lost to Dalton Trumbo (under the pseudonym Robert Rich) for The Brave One.
Cast
- Michèle Morgan as Nellie, a beautiful French tourist, whose husband suddenly dies, leaving her without resource in a foreign squalid village.
- Gérard Philipe as Georges, a castaway drunkard, bubble of the local mob, formerly French M.D.
- Carlos López Moctezuma as "el doctor", the local worn-out M.D.
- Víctor Manuel Mendoza as Don Rodrigo, the local god-father, a typical bullying macho.
- Michèle Cordoue as Anna, Don Rodrigo's harsh and vulgar French wife.
- André Toffel as Tom, a French tourist stopping to die of meningitis in Alvarado
- Arturo Soto Rangel as the local priest.
- Luis Buñuel as one of Don Rodrigo's gun-bearers. The realistic-satirical description of the plague, along with numerous local spicy private jokes in the abundant Spanish part of the dialogue certainly owes a lot to the guest-star's presence.
