You have to wait over 20 minutes for Tyrone Power's entrance in Blood and Sand, but it's a good one: a close-up of Power grinning like FDR, his hair oiled and a cigar jutting out of his teeth, framed against a blood-red backdrop. This is the young matador Juan Gallardo, now grown after the opening reels have established his childhood as a bullfighting prodigy. What happens upon Juan's return to Seville is high Technicolor drama: success in the ring, romance with a childhood sweetheart (Linda Darnell), and then temptation in the arms of a dangerous temptress (Rita Hayworth).
The film is, of course, a remake of the silent 1922 Rudolph Valentino hit, but there's no mistaking it for that one: not least because of the torrid tones of the Oscar-winning cinematography by Ernest Palmer and Ray Rennehan, and the equally lush score by Alfred Newman. The director here is Rouben Mamoulian, whose operatic style meshes with the subject--bullfighting--and the old-school approach to heavy-breathing melodrama. The movie's a little too operatic for pacing purposes, and that opening definitely goes on too long. But the attractions include Rita Hayworth reveling in the bad-girl role; you can hardly blame Juan Gallardo for wandering, even if Linda Darnell is fully in her early-career lusciousness. And then there's Anthony Quinn, who swims around Gallardo like a shark sniffing blood. Tyrone Power is physically right for the role, and his steadfast earnestness suits the character. If it all seems faintly ludicrous today, it was good enough for box-office success in 1941, keeping Power's late-1930s winning streak going. --Robert Horton

The only Tyrone power movie I have not liked! Beautifully filmed with a great cast, it is so slow moving as to be unwatchable, I started fast forwarding halfway through at the request of the other viewers. The look at the bullfighting culture was interesting and the role of Curro the newspaper "sports" writer played by Laird Cregar was superb,the camera loves Power and of course Rita Hayworth, who remains a hot dish 70 years later. All the elements for a great classic film but I just couldn't believe ... Read More

"Blood and sand" is one of the most famous novels of Blasco Ibañez, that somehow retakes the myth of Icarus about the story of the son of a famous bullfighter, from his impoverished ages of childhood to his unequalled fame as the best Spanish bull fighter, idolized and loved for many women.
His superb reaches a turning point when he was seduced by an alluring woman - Rita Hayworth-, although she is aware he `s a married man, and how this ethic deviation will lead him to a fatal disgrace, ... Read More

Boyhood rivals Tyrone Power and Anthony Quinn grow up to be rival matadors.So far, so what. But then they become rivals in love. Now you have a story. Power is the first to get involved with the lucious Rita Hayworth but then Quinn moves in for the prize. It is rare that one scene can make an entire movie worth the purchase price but the scene in which Quinn and Hayworth dance is that scene. Quinn uses the moves of a matador with Hayworth dancing the part of the matador's twirling cape in her rose colored ... Read More
