Review of Carmen Jones (1954) by Danie G — 06 Dec 2008
I first saw Carmen Jones at age 9 and have been in love with this film every since!
Dorothy Dandrige and Harry Belofonte provide outstanding performances in this black adaptation of the origional film, Carmen.
Dandrige's portrayal of Carmen exceeds even the highest expectations. Carmen is a free spirited jook womyn of sorts who you will hate and have pity for at the same time.
Joe's (Belofonte) decent into obsession with Carmen makes a smooth progression and you will be shocked by this gentle characcter's dark side by the end of the film.
Extra treats include cameo appearances by Diahnne Carrol and Pearl Bailey!
Definately a must see for classic musical lover's!
