Carmen Jones Reviews
Incredible...Need I say more?
Yes. This is truly a masterpiece and after so many years remains one of the best films ever made (in my humble opinion). That may sound like a bit much, but believe me, you have to appreciate the great acting and wonderful actors, the cineamotography, music, etc. This movie is funny, thoroughly entertaining and tragic. I don't usually care for movies older than I am, but this one is worth a look. Enjoy.
Carmen Jones
I saw this first film when it first premiered and I remember wondering why there were no white people in it. I was not living in the US then and was not privee to the political climate here. I waited to see this film a second time and saw a 'cut up' version on TV in the 60's. Despite its condition and the breaks for mindless commercials, the film still was entertaining. The film then seemed to 'disappear' until the 1980's when I saw a showing at the Public Theatre in New York City - bless Mr. Papp for screeing it. Over the years, I have seen many operas and now know how 'grand opera' is presented. Still, I think that this is a valant effort and is worth seeing. The lyrics are great as is the music. Ms Dainbridge is excellent as Carmen and was certainly sexy, as Carmen should be - unlike so many that have played this part in grand opera! One can sympathize with the young soldier going AWAL. The one oddity is hearing someone else's voice coming from Harry Belefonte's mouth. This film is definitely worth seeing.
