Carmen Jones (1954.)
directed by Otto Preminger
featuring Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, Olga James, Pearl Bailey, Diahann Carroll
About this title: In 1943, Oscar Hammerstein Jr. took
Georges Bizet's opera Carmen, rewrote the lyrics, changed the characters from
19th century Spaniards to World War II-era African-Americans, switched the
locale to a Southern military base, and the result was Carmen Jones. Dorothy
Dandridge stars as Carmen Jones, tempestuous employee of a parachute factory.
Harry Belafonte plays Joe (originally José), a young military officer engaged
to marry virginal Cindy Lou (Olga James). When Carmen gets into a fight with
another girl, she is placed under arrest and put in Joe's charge………
