Auction History Result CARMEN ('15/II) 1sh '15  Lease from Hershenson/Allen ArchiveAn Original Vintage One-Sheet Poster (Learn More) Carmen, the 1915 Raoul Walsh silent Spain war-time military doomed love romantic melodrama (based on the novella written in 1845 by Prosper Merimee, which was adapted into an opera by Georges Bizet in 1875; about a Spanish soldier who falls under the spell of a gypsy woman and his obsession eventually leads himself to ruin) starring Theda Bara (in the title role as Carmen), Einar Linden (as Don Jose), Carl Harbaugh, James A. Marcus, and Emil De Varney. Note that while Raoul Walsh was making this version, Cecil D. DeMille was making a competing version with Geraldine Farrar, and Walsh's version was released first. Charlie Chaplin made fun of the "duelling Carmens" in his "Burlesque on Carmen", also released in 1915. There were three more silent Carmens and there have been many sound versions as well. Also, note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: CP
