Storyline
Did you know
- Alternate versionsTwo versions of this film were shot simultaneously. The Spanish version, Carmen la de Ronda, reflected the strict Spanish censorship of the time, and the character of Antonio (played by Jorge Mistral) and his men are presented as freedom fighters during the French occupation of Spain. (Hence, the origin of the USA title, A Girl Against Napoleon.) The French version contained more explicit sexual situations, and a couple of songs by Miss Montiel were substituted by other songs in French. But Antonio and his gang are presented just as smugglers trying to outwit the French authorities, closer to the opera's libretto, and evading the French/Spanish political conflict.

Featured review
This is Sara Montiel best movie and maybe the best version of Carmen , this movie is much better than the one Rita Hayworth did in the late 1940s .La Montiel here look so beautiful and she prove she can act, this is the story of Carmen the gypsy woman whose beauty was legendary and her love for don Jose , Sarita Montiel never was better , she did many major hits movies later in her life until 1975 when she did a very bad movie named Cinco Almohadas para una noche and she retired for good since then she became a television star even today in her 80s she still La Montiel, in this movie her favorite co star Maurice Ronet I think they did 3 movies together He was a the famous french star the leading man of Brigitte Bardot , Romy Schneider , Jeanne Moreau , Catherine Deneuve and many more he was here at the peak of his fame and the other part is played by the sexy Spanish actor Jorge Mistral at the top of his fame too this movie was a huge hit all over the world, SARA MONTIEL DIE april 8 2013 at age 85 a verysad day in my life Adios Saritisma montiel
