Blood and Sand (1941 film) Trailer

Blood and Sand (1941) is a Technicolor film produced by 20th Century Fox, directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, Rita Hayworth, and Alla Nazimova. It is based on the Spanish 1909 novel Blood and Sand (Sangre y arena) by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez.

There are two earlier versions of Blood and Sand; a 1922 version produced by Paramount Pictures, and starring Rudolph Valentino; and a 1916 version filmed by Blasco Ibáñez himself, with the help of Max André.

Director Rouben Mamoulian based many of the film's colour schemes and designs on the works of great Spanish painter Francisco de Goya.

Hedy Lamarr was the first actress approached to play Doña Sol, but MGM refused to loan her to Fox. Among the actresses considered to play Doña Sol were Gene Tierney, Betty Grable, Jane Russell, Dorothy Lamour and Maria Montez. The part went eventually to Carole Landis who was replaced by Rita Hayworth at the very last moment, short before main photography shooting starter, for reasons undisclosed to this day.
