product description powered by georges bizet's grand music and oscar hammerstein ii's magnificent lyrics, this americanized all-black version of the classic opera carmen is "a dynamic superb show" with a positively "incandescent carmen." (newsweek) oscarâ(r) -nominee dorothy dandridge stars in the title role, a passionate, sexy creature who lures joe (harry belafonte), a handsome soldier, away from his sweetheart (olga james). following a fatal brawl with his sergeant, joe deserts his regiment with the sultry femme fatale. but carmen soon tires of him and takes up with a heavyweight prize-fighter (joe adams). triggering joe's tragic revenge. helping to set the screen on fire are pearl bailey and diahann carroll, part of the "sensational troupe" that makes this jubilant musical film "hard to beat." amazon.com few actresses have captivated the camera as powerfully as dorothy dandridge in carmen jones. her polished beauty plays in irresistible contrast to her title character's leonine sexuality and fluid emotions; a man can't decide from moment to moment if he wants to save her from doom, build her a castle, or never let her out of bed. of course, that's the problem with the boys in this semi-experimental adaptation of bizet's opera, carmen. straight-arrow joe (a strapping harry belafonte), an obedient corporal on a southern military base during world war ii, is all set to go to flight school and marry his hometown sweetie, cindy lou (olga james), when his troublemaking sergeant orders him to accompany carmen to a civilian court. in short order, joe is swept up in carmen's carnal anarchy and her craving for release from lousy options in life. an impulsive act of violence ensures that joe's future is gone forever, putting carmen in the difficult position of destroying their relationship to save him. oscar hammerstein ii took bizet's music in 1943 and rewrote the book and lyrics. the result is largely a smashing success with a few missteps (the bullfighter in bizet's piece becomes a heavy...

This is an oldie but goodie I seen long ago, and had to have it. I love Dorothy Dandridge, and Harry Belafonte, haven't seen them for awhile so ws enjoiyable to see them again.
Carmen Jones is a classic. I had searched everywhere for it and my daughter (who is a Walmart Associate) suggested that I check Walmart online. I didn't waste time nor gas. The movie was shipped to me in time for Christmas. I will do more future shopping online. Thanks Walmart.
I ENJOYED THIS MOVIE AS A YOUNG ADULT, AND AS A SENIOR CITIZEN, I STILL ENJOY IT. I AM SO HAPPY THAT IT BECAME AVAILABLE ON DVD AT SUCH A GOOD PRICE. TWO FRIENDS WHO REMEMBERED IT HAVE ASKED ME TO ORDER DVDs FOR THEM.
I am a big Dorothy Dandridge fan, while I love this movie for her performance and its entire storyline as well as the music, I found the Special Features to be disappointing and dull. It's worth the price, but we live in a place where this movie simply wouldn't be considered "Golden" or "Collector's Classic" for several reasons...but this movie truly is a classic and doesn't get much credit or special time, as would probably be given to a Marilyn Monroe or Cary Grant film...at least the VHS (which I rented several years ago) has wonderful special features at the beginning: the movie trailer, the movie's premiere. The DVD seems like no one cared about giving it any special touch. The special features include: The theatrical trailer, the movie poster, and trailers for OTHER Movies, and what else? an advertisement for Marilyn Monroe's Diamond Collection. So if you love the movie Carmen Jones, you could get this, but don't expect any special features highlighting its glorious cast and the wedge it sent through Hollywood history.
