Additional InformationScreen version of the musical "Carmen Jones," which adapted Bizet's opera "Carmen" for an all-black cast. Army soldier Joe (Harry Belafonte) falls in love with Carmen (Dorothy Dandridge in an Oscar nominated role), a beautiful and seductive factory worker. When he kills his sergeant during a fight, the ill-fated lovers flee to escape the police. But Carmen's faithlessness and selfishness eventually surface, and she rejects Joe for another man. But he can't let her go, and his obsessive love ultimately leads to tragedy.

  • Perfect in every way

    The opera music has always been a favourite of mine and this film version of it to me was a sheer delight and was most enjoyable. I cannot fault it in any way. I'm pleased to have added it to my collection.

  • Great movie

    I used to have this years ago on VHS. I love the combination of Bizet's music and Oscar Hammerstein is my favourite lyricist.
