Leave your thoughts about Carmen Jones.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDorothy Dandridge became the very first black woman to receive Best Actress Oscar nomination for Otto Preimger's audacious (for the early 1950s) all-black musical of the famous opera. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenPreminger strips the musical of all excess and frills. He creates an austere, depoeticized, anti-lyrical world in which nothing obstructs his camera's detached recording of the action. The great themes of Preminger's oeuvre are obsession and the conflict between freedom and repression, themes which are central to Carmen Jones. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe movie can still make temperatures rise -- though for musical rather than political reasons. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzElectric performance by Dorothy Dandridge as the sultry whorish Carmen Jones. |
| The SpectatorVirginia GrahamAs a play with music by Bizet one can forget that he and Mr. Hammerstein have taken a liberty with one of one's earliest memories, and after seeing it one must try to forget that, truth to tell, their Carmen Jones is really much better than Carmen. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathIf you're not a fan of opera, you probably won't care much for 'Carmen Jones,' despite some pretty solid acting and scenes that bring postwar America to life. |
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneSlinking through director Preminger's CinemaScope widescreen in slit skirts and tight blouses, Dandridge is naturally carnal the way summer is naturally warm. |
| GuardianAndrew PulverThe 1954 film version of Oscar Hammerstein's all-black Broadway musical now feels like a relic from the gruesome social straitjacket that was segregation; every frame, you feel, is freighted with the tension imposed by the never-appearing white folks. It was, however, laudable in its desire to showcase the talents of African-American performers who were denied opportunities in Hollywood. |
| VarietyVariety StaffOtto Preminger has transferred it to the screen with taste and imagination in an opulent production. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelThe somewhat heavy-handed direction and the ultimately two-dimensional characters leave you admiring the workmanship without plucking at the necessary emotional/romantic heart-strings. |
