Trivia
Prosper Merimee's famous story was first proposed as a vehicle for Rita Hayworth by her then husband, Orson Welles. He planned to write and direct a version based directly on the novel rather than the better-known opera version. However, his idea was turned down by Columbia boss Harry Cohn - who, however, revived the idea for Hayworth almost as soon as she and Welles broke up. (They were divorced in 1947). See more »Goofs

A movie that far outdoes its meager reputation. It reunites Gilda's stars, Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth, in a Spanish adventure based on the original novel Carmen, on which Bizet's opera is based. The story is extremely melodramatic, of course, but it's endlessly entertaining. Glenn Ford is pretty good as a nobleman who throws everything away for the love of his gypsy woman, Carmen. And Hayworth is as scorching as ever, even though her hair is brown. For those who love classic Hollywood opulence, this is definitely your movie. The film is in truly glorious Technicolor, some of the most beautiful cinematography of its era. The costumes, art direction, and music (none of it based on Bizet) are exceptional. The Loves of Carmen deserves better than it has gotten. 9/10.
