Cecil B. DeMille Double Feature
Two Cecil B. DeMille classic films and a Charlie Chaplin short on one special DVD. Carmen (56 min.) stars famed Metropolitan Opera soprano Geraldine Farrar in her most famous role on stage and screen.Her high-spirited and erotic performance dominates this vibrant film adaptation of Prosper Meimee's story and George Bizet's opera.The Cheat (59 min.) establishes the familiar DeMille narrative formula wherein a wayward wife's implusive indiscretions propel her into public scandal, private shame and marital turmoil.Also included is Charlie Chaplin's Burlesque On Carmen (30 min.), a brilliant parody of DeMille's Carmen, reconstructed for the first time.
