Unusual but well-made retelling of the "Carmen" opera with an African-American cast. The exquisite Dorothy Dandridge is on the money in the title role - she may have been one of Hollywood's greatest (and most underused) beauties. She and Belafonte generate a lot of heat on the screen. A good supporting cast includes Pearl Bailey and a very young Diahann Carroll.
Black folks had to take what they could get in Hollywood at the time and to the credit of the cast and Preminger, they manage to rise above the stereotypes. Who cares if "Carmen" was originally a Spanish opera, what's the big deal?
