Description: After his family is murdered in the 1880s, orphan Jeb Rand (Robert Mitchum) is raised by the Callum family on their nearby horse ranch. He remains haunted by this childhood trauma in a recurring nightmare of flashing spurs and confinement inside a trap door as his family is slaughtered. Widow Callum (Dame Judith Anderson) does her best to make Jeb feel loved as he is growing up, but the young man stubbornly maintains a sense of his own identity. While he has great affection for his foster-sister Thor (Teresa Wright), his relationship with her brother Adam (John Rodney) is tenuous at best, especially when Jeb blames him for shooting a colt that he was riding. Although Mrs. Callum blames the incident on deer hunters, she is aware that the it was actually the attempted murder of the youngster by her brother-in-law Grant (Dean Jagger), a shadowy figure who, for vague reasons, is determined to harm Jeb. Jeb loses a coin flip with Adam, and becomes the designated family volunteer to fight in the Spanish-American War. Jeb returns a hero, but does not find happiness. Although Thor loves him, Adam is resentful about sharing the farm’s profits, and the omnipresent, enigmatic Grant remains at the fringes of Jeb’s life, waiting for a chance to revenge himself on the young man in some mysterious vendetta as Jeb continues trying to exorcise his demons.

Hal Erickson writes:
Despite an ad campaign wherein RKO Radio congratulated itself for its “guts”, this long-delayed film version of Norman Mailer’s bestselling WW2 novel The Naked and the Dead still had to pull most of its punches (especially when it came to four-letter words). Aldo Ray heads the cast as sadistic sergeant Croft, who’d as soon kill one of his own men as he would the Japanese. Sensitive, moralistic Lieutenant Hearn (Cliff Robertson) tries to put a leash on Croft, but he’s ordered to keep out of the situation by psychotic General Cummings (Raymond Massey), who is convinced that soldiers will fight harder the more they hate their superiors. The film wavers uncomfortably between excessive violence and excessive moralizing, with time out for a few ill-conceived slapstick setpieces (including an outsized barroom brawl) and romantic interludes with such zaftig beauties as stripteaser Lili (Lili St. Cyr) and good-time girl Mildred (Barbara Nichols). In one of his first film appearances, comedian Joey Bishop plays Pvt. Roth, whose reaction to Sgt. Croft’s relentless anti-semitism culminates in a spectacular death scene. Distribution of The Naked and the Dead was taken over from the failing RKO Radio operation by Warner Bros., who also changed the name of the film’s widescreen process from SuperScope to WarnerScope.

The post Raoul Walsh – The Naked and the Dead (1958) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Bad quality but very rare. I don’t know the source for this video, but it looks like a distant ancestor was a vhs.

Here’s an imdb review by lugonian:
THE LOVES OF CARMEN (Fox, 1927), directed by Raoul Walsh, reunites Walsh with his WHAT PRICE GLORY (1926) leading players of Dolores Del Rio and Victor McLaglen in a story based on Prosper Merimee’s classic story, “Carmen,” that later served as an 1875 Georges Bizet opera. For those unfamiliar with the plot, this edition, one of many, comes across as more faithful to the aforementioned properties from which it is based.

Set in 1820s Seville, Carmen (Dolores Del Rio), is a gypsy girl working in a cigar factory who is loved by Lieutenant Don Jose (Don Alvarado), as well as half of male population of Spain. She meets her match with Escamillo (Victor McLaglen), a famous matador and the idol of many women. Carmen makes every attempt to attract his attention, but all she gets for her trouble is him picking her up and throwing her into a puddle of water. To make her day complete, Carmen gets into an argument with one of her female co-workers followed by a physical fight with another after being called “an angel from the gutter.” This, of course, lands her in jail for disturbing the peace. Carmen’s sentence is cut short as Don Jose arranges for Carmen’s escape. For this he is placed on guard duty as punishment by his superior officer, Morales (Jack Bastian). He later faces a court martial for deserting his post to be alone with Carmen in her place of residence. After Don finds Morales with Carmen, the two men duel it out with swords, with the commander being killed in the process. For this, Don seeks refuge in the mountains, hiding in the gypsy camp with Carmen. As Carmen begins to become bored with Don, she breaks away from him to watch Escamillo in the bullring. This time she captures his attention, eventually becoming his mistress while Don Jose, a disgrace to his regiment, learns of this and goes into a jealous rage.

Other members of the cast consist of not so well known actors including Nancy Nash (Michela); Rafael Valverda (Miguel); Mathilde Comont (Emilia); Carmen Costello (Tersa); and Fred Kohler Sr. (The Gypsy Chief).

Mexican actress Dolores Del Rio excels in her role as Carmen, as does fellow Hispanic Don Alvarado playing Don Jose. The tall and rugged Victor McLaglen might seem an unlikely choice as the bullfighter, yet, under Walsh’s direction, gets by with his role. The sets and costumes capture the mood and period where it’s set, but in spite of this being a satisfactory production, it’s close to being virtually unknown to film scholars. THE LOVES OF CARMEN was once a lost item from cinema history, with no prints known to exist until its long awaited discovery in an European archive and restoration from film department staff members of Museum of Modern Art in New York City made it a reality to be shown again. Aside from limited public showings at the museum, THE LOVES OF CARMEN served as the sixth movie presented in the eight-week series of “Lost and Found” broadcast from June to August of 1978 on New York’s own public broadcasting station, WNET, Channel 13, hosted by Richard Schickel. Upon the conclusion of its television premiere, equipped with piano score at a length of 83 minutes, Schickel talked briefly about other Carmens of the screen, including a 1909 French film, two 1915 releases, one featuring opera star Geraldine Farrar under the direction of Cecil B. Demille for Paramount, and another starring Theda Bara directed by Raoul Walsh, along with comedian Charlie Chaplin’s interpretation in the featurette spoof, BURLESQUE ON CARMEN (1916) with Edna Purviance. (The most famous remakes, however, happens to be THE LOVES OF CARMEN (Columbia, 1948) with the alluring Rita Hayworth and the miscast Glenn Ford; and the modern-day opera with an all black cast, CARMEN JONES (20th Century-Fox, 1954) featuring Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Bellafonte.) Schickel also commented on Don Alvarado being one of many actors during the silent era to be promoted as another Latin lover type like Rudolph Valentino (1895-1926), yet failed living up to that legendary performer.

Regardless of its rediscovery and restoration, THE LOVES OF CARMEN hasn’t been seen much since its 1978 television presentation, and it doesn’t seem likely that it will circulate again. With so many Carmens on stage and screen, what’s one more addition to video, DVD or cable television broadcasts with the one and only Dolores Del Rio silently playing a flirt with her love and passion for destroying those around her, especially the men in her life.
