Dramatic version of the Bizet opera

- Danny Dolor -
May 23, 2010 | 12:00am

‘Not the opera…but the dramatic version of the story of Carmen,‘ reads the blurb of the 1948 movie The Loves of Carmen. The opera is the masterpiece of French composer Georges Bizet, the tragic tale of a dancer and a bullfighter.

The dramatic and modern version of Carmen is topbilled by Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, produced and directed for Columbia Pictures by the legendary Hungarian-American director Charles Vidor.

The alluring Rita was singer-dancer on stage since the age of six. Glenn Ford, who also started his acting career on stage, was identified with tortured-hero roles, like the one in The Loves of Camen. — RKC
