A Burlesque on Carmen
(1915)
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.
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Ben Turpin, Peter Sellers and others
