Note that Cecil B. DeMille had filmed Carmen in 1915 with Geraldine Farrar in the lead role, and Raoul Walsh had also filmed it in 1915 with Theda Bara in the lead role. In 1918, Ernst Lubitsch filmed this German version, but it wasn't released in the U.S. until 1921, because of the two earlier versions, and when it was released, it was re-titled "Gypsy Blood" to avoid confusion with the other two movies. In 1923, both Lubitsch and Negri moved to the United States, after making many German films. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This is a "bookplate", made by the Reemtsma company. Examples of these bookplates were used in the 1935 German album "Vom Werder Deutcher Filmkunst: Der Stumme Film (literally translates to "The Making of German Cinematic Art: The Silent Film") & Vom Werder Deutcher Filmkunst; Der Tonfilm (The Making of German Cinematic Art: The Sound Film). This bookplate is identical to one found in the "Silent Film" album described above (which means it was created in 1935, when the album was published), but of course, it was not placed in the album. This bookplate has a scene from a movie on the front and information about the movie, plus what album it belonged in on the back! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
