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 slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: fair to good. There is a vertical crack in the back pane in the top center, but it is not very visible from the front. Learn More about condition grades
