Trivia
The first Japanese color film.

Goofs
When Carmen and Maya are in the field and Carmen shoves Maya, the camera cuts to a closeup of Maya looking upset, but in the shot before she can be seen laughing under the brim of her hat as Carmen knocks her down.

Quotes
The principal: It's a violation of human rights to go against her will to dance. Nowadays, profiteering evils like bicycle racing are allowed to flourish. Maruju's scheme for a nude dance show may be less offensive in comparison.

carmen comes home

As perhaps befits the first Japanese color film the visual elements linger in the mind far longer and more brightly than the story elements. One remembers the pastel dresses of the two visiting Tokyo strippers set against the greens and browns of the austere mountain/ranch location and all presided over by a benign volcano long after the way too cutesy rustic comedy stuff is forgotten. Give it a B minus.
