Overview

Unsuccessful singing bullfighter Juan arrives in Barcelona to try his luck in a big town.

Juan approaches the challenge by pretending to her he is an emissary for a rich count. Written by Jeremy Perkins

Brilliantine the Bull Fighter

Nov 21, 1922

Brilliantino the Bullfighter (originally titled Flood and Sand) is one of the first spoofs of Blood and Sand, Paramount’s smoldering matador melodrama that set box offices ablaze. Like Mud and Sand, starring Stan Laurel, the Banks parody was rushed into theaters in November 1922, while memory of the Valentino vehicle was fresh. The concept of Monty Banks impersonating the passionate matador must have been innately hilarious to audiences who had seen the original picture.
