I was interested in ordering this blu-ray until I watched a couple clips of the movie on youtube, and I was instantly turned off from Julia Migenes and her bushy armpits in this flick. Was she considered the hottest opera singer in 1984? What a shame because it does look like one of the better opera movie adaptations.

I'm not sure what time period this Carmen is in, but under arm hair on a European woman in the 1980s isn't a huge shock...

yeah, but it's really bushy and she's raising her arms in the clips. If it was just peaking out, I wouldn't mind. And I don't mind stringy, but goddamn the thick armpit bush is a turn off. I had an Austrian girlfriend who didn't shave her pits, and I have bad association with that because when I watched those Carmen clips, it was like smellovision - I don't want to think of sweaty, musky armpit hair B.O. when I watch a movie!

I wonder what old masterpiece films have women with the bushy armpits, and I wonder if I can still watch those films now?
