Since wickedness does not pay, Carmen at last ends up with a knife in her own alluring torso. As the gypsy cigarette girl, Rita has a chance to spit, snarl, bite, slap, kick, dance, sing (in Spanish), pull a knife and, of course, exercise her deadlier blandishments. The film's limitations are largely those of its star, though it manages some tension...
