A fatal love triangle melodrama between a fiery dancer, a gendarme and a bullfighter… The adaptation of Prosper Mérimée’s »Carmen«, which was detached from the original gypsy milieu, dispensed with the opera music of Georges Bizet and replaced it with folkloric tunes. Starring the Spanish diva Imperio Argentina as the main act.
