A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Tony Sloman
In 20th Century-Fox's all-Black version of Bizet's opera Carmen, Oscar-nominated Dorothy Dandridge sizzles on screen as the ultimate femme fatale Carmen Jones, although her singing voice was dubbed by the then unknown Marilyn Horne. LeVern Hutcherson sings for handsome Harry Belafonte, but the rest of the cast largely sing for themselves. The music has an enjoyable Hollywood zest and Carmen fans will warm to the wit of this interpretation: for example, Bizet's toreador becomes boxer Husky Miller. By the way, look closely into that store window during Whizzin' Away along the Track and you'll see the whole film crew captured in reflection for posterity.
