The Loves of Carmen plot

"A story of beauty and savagery...love and hate...splendor and shame..."

Carmen (Rita Hayworth), a gypsy woman who works in a cigarette factory, clearly influences the men she meets. When she is arrested for a disturbance, police officer Don José (Glenn Ford) is also impressed by the beautiful Carmen. He leaves his betrothed and falls head over heels in love with Carmen. Too late, Don José must discover that the seductive gypsy will ruin his life.

Error in the plot, nowhere does it appear that Don Jose has a fiancée whom he leaves for Carmen, and Carmen, who allegedly works in a cigarette factory, is also never mentioned.
Don Jose has just joined the army and has been transferred to Seville, where he bumps into Carmen on the streets of the city. Inexperienced as he is, he falls head over heels for this exceptionally attractive woman.
Carmen is a prostitute, a woman who fully exploits her charms to win men around her finger, steal them, and/or turn their heads, she fully enjoys this without shame and guilt.
Yet Don Jose (however naive he is) manages to touch a nerve with her but her character will ultimately prove fatal to both of them.
Rita Hayworth is of course perfect for the role of Carmen, she can play the role of ultimate seductress like no other and does so very convincingly (perhaps even better than in Gilda).
the transformation of Glenn Ford's character from naive shy soldier to extremely jealous husband is believable enough, although it is extreme.
