A Burlesque on Carmen (1915) Charles Chaplin

This is a parody of two “Carmen“s, Bizet’s opera and a movie (1915) starring Geraldine Farrar. Smugglers come ashore. Their leader sends the gypsy Carmen to lure Don Jose (called Darn Hosiery) away so they can get the contraband to town. There are grand swordfights, deaths, returns to life. Directors: Charles Chaplin , Leo White Writer: Prosper Mérimée Stars: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Peter Sellers
