BLOOD AND SAND (1941). A little hambone, but good story of a Bullfighter reaching the top and succumbing to all the vices around him. Tyrone Power is very good, but honestly, his Juan is basically a Bitch (no bargain either as a child), especially the way He treats his wife (well played by the lovely Linda Darnell).
Wonderful Technicolor and a lot of actors I enjoy such as John Carradine (HOUSE OF DRACULA, VOODOO MAN, THE MUMMY'S GHOST), J Carroll Naish (THE MONSTER MAKER, HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, CALLING DR DEATH) and Laird Cregar (THE LODGER, HANGOVER SQUARE), whose critic has lots in common with ALL ABOUT EVE'S Addison Dewitt. ***
