The Bullfighter's Suit (Spanish: El traje de luces) is a 1947 Spanish drama film directed by Edgar Neville and starring José Nieto and José Prada. The film is set in the world of bullfighting and presents a more downbeat view of the sport in contrast to other films of the era that tended to be more celebratory.[1] The title refers to Traje de luces, the traditional toreador's costume.
