...Rose's plan to "improve" the Metropolitan Opera [TIME, Sept. 6] is commendable, but he mustn't let his long affiliation with thousands of thin-thighed showgirls go to his vocabulary when he calls opera singers "hamfats." Does he know that it takes all that "heft" to sing above a vast orchestra? . . . Opera is not supposed to be a flashy, visual affair of housebroken horses and incredible bosoms ...

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 in such rough & tumble scenes as the one where Don José and Garcia (Victor Jory) hack at each other with trowel...
