Don Jose is a solier and has been transferred to Seville, where he bumps into Carmen on the streets of the city. Inexperienced as he is, he falls head over heels for this exceptionally attractive woman.
Carmen is a gypsy, and a woman who fully exploits her charms to win men around her finger, steal them, and/or turn their heads, she enjoys this to the fullest without shame and guilt.
Yet Don Jose (however naive he is) manages to touch a nerve with her, but her depraved character will ultimately prove fatal to both of them.
Rita Hayworth is of course perfect for the role of Carmen, she can play the role of the ultimate seductress like no other and does so very convincingly (perhaps even better than in Gilda).
The transformation of Glenn Ford's character from naive shy soldier to extremely jealous husband is believable enough, although it is extreme.
This is the 3rd film with Hayworth and Ford together and all three are more than worth watching.
