What happens

Carmen è un cortometraggio del 1907 diretto da Arthur Gilbert. Pur essendo muto, venne sonorizzato con il sistema Chronophone. Il film è il primo a trasporre sul grande schermo i personaggi dell'opera teatrale omonima. Nello stesso anno, in Francia uscì anche un altro Carmen, un cortometraggio prodotto dalla Pathé Frères e sonorizzato con il sistema Ciné-Phono. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
