Blood and Sand

Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, and Rita Hayworth star in Rouben Mamoulian's stunning remake of the 1922 silent classic. A "potent drama of love and danger, pride and death," this "magnificent presentation" (Variety) tells the story of a handsome matador torn between his loving wife and a beautiful, unscrupulous aristocrat. Juan (Power), the naïve son of a once-famous bullfighter, tries to recapture the glory of his family's name. Though he is branded fifth rate, he soon becomes Spain's greatest matador and returns home top marry his childhood sweetheart (Darnell). But when a beautiful, passionate aristocrat (Hayworth) seduces him, Juan succumbs to her temptations, only to see his own happiness and success crumble.
