Carmen Comes Home is a 1951 color Japanese film comedy directed by Keisuke Kinoshita. Filmed using Fujicolor, it was Japan's first domestic post-war color film. However due to printing costs and technical limitations at the time, a black and white version was also filmed, thus requiring actors and actresses re-performing scenes. In addition, most Japanese audiences saw the black and white version.
