Into the watery scene ides a beneficent monster, a giant oil-derrick bent on finding petroleum ^neath the bayou. There follows the drama of locating oil, compacted dually of the dangers involved and of the skill, nerve and instinct of le amazing fellows who face them.

Screen play by ilen Deutsch based upon the story of "Carmen" by Prosper Merimee. Direc•»d by Charles Via or. Columbia Rita Hayworth's conception of the .eked gypsy Carmen is all her own, a purring kitten rather than the tiger t of tradition and probably the prettiest Spanish jade ever to rattle stanets, with sculptured red curls and many rich costumes. She is 'the omed heroine of an adaptation of the novelette, quite a different story om the opera libretto but equally tragic. The picture has visual disnction and Technicolor is used with discretion to dramatize and amorize the Spanish backgrounds. Mature
