"Carmen" Filmed in Andalucia

I love the version of "Carmen" by the Director Francisco Rosi, which was filmed entirely in Andalucia. There are scenes in the streets and on the bridge at Ronda, and in the tobacco factory episodes, where Carmen traditionally rolls a cigar on her thigh. The Ronda bullring is used for the final part of the drama. Julia Migenes is a captivating, fiery Carmen, with Placido Domingo as her lover, Don Jose. There are a number of clips from the film on YouTube. (Sometimes they download, and sometimes they don't!)
