A Burlesque on Carmen

16 August, 2020 Movies No comments

This is a parody of two "Carmen"s, Bizet’s opera and a movie (1915) starring Geraldine Farrar. Smugglers come ashore. Their leader sends the gypsy Carmen to lure Don Jose (called Darn Hosiery) away so they can get the contraband to town. There are grand swordfights, deaths, returns to life.
