06.5 | The beautiful, seductive ‘gypsy woman’, as personified notably by the character of Carmen, is one of the most common ‘gypsy’ stereotypes in literature, art and popular culture. To this day she is portrayed as a figure onto whom erotic fantasies are projected, an image exploited to the full by the entertainment industry.

The feature film Gypsy Wildcat was shot in the U.S. in 1944 and premiered in Germany in October 1951.
