Carmen Jones

This sizzling screen version of Bizet's opera Carmen, updated for an all-black cast, stars Dorothy Dandridge, whose vibrant performance resulted in the first Oscar nomination for a black actress. She stars in the title role as a passionate, sexy creature who lures handsome GI Joe (Harry Belafonte) away from his sweetheart.
