BLOOD AND SAND
20th Century Fox, 1941
| The story tells of the rise in fame of Bullfighter Juan Gallardo, played by Tyrone Power who comes from very humble beginnings to become the most famous bullfighter in Spain. His downfall comes when he falls for socialite Dona Sol, played by Rita Hayworth, turning from his wife, the faithful Carmen, played by Linda. She stands by her man as he continues to face real danger in the bullring. |

This film was originally made in the 1920's and was considered a great silent version with Rudolph Valentino in the lead. I think its is a very good remake. Linda is as innocent as she is young and beautiful in the part of Juan's wife. Its hard to believe that she is only eighteen when she played this role. |
