Based on the novel by Prosper Merimee, Carmen is the classic tale of forbidden passion between a young man and a spoken-for woman, Carmen. It is told in flashback as the young soldier, stripped of his decorations, explains all in a prison cell. He tells of the love he had for Carmen and how it proved to be destructive.
When ‘Carmen’ was filmed, the lampposts on the Roman Bridge in Cordoba were replaced by others made out of a different material.
