Legendary opera star Geraldine Farrar is incandescent as Carmen in this early adaptation of Mérimées tragedy, directed by Cecil B. DeMille. Carmen also stars Wallace Reid as Don José. This lavishly restored edition was made from DeMilles personal print of the film, and color tinted according to the specifications in the original shooting script.
The soundtrack features a recreation of Hugo Riesenfelds score for the films 1915 premiere, performed by the London Philharmonic and operatic soloists under the direction of musicologist and conductor Gillian B. Anderson. As a bonus, Farrar is heard in 1914-1915 Victor recordings of arias from Carmen against a video montage of stills and scenes from the movie.

It's a treat to see the great (and tragic) Wallace Reid. I wish his films were more widely available. The Anglo, "all American" guy-next-door hero like Wallace Reid was replaced by exotic sex symbols like Valentino, and that fact, coupled with his terrible death in the early twenties, have caused Reid to be almost entirely forgotten today. Sad and ironic, given the fact that in his heyday he was such a huge star that they called him the King of Paramount and the World's Most Perfect Lover.
