After the success of The Mark of Zorro (1940), Twentieth Century Fox reteamed Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell for a remake of the 1922 silent film Blood and Sand starring Rudolph Valentino. Based on the 1908 novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, the film centers around Juan Gallardo (Power), a magnificent matador whose success is attributed to the dedicated support of his wife and childhood sweetheart, Carmen (Darnell). At the peak of his career, Juan falls for another woman, Doña Sol (Rita Hayworth), which leads to the inevitable downfall of his career and life.
