it's too bad that i saw Beyonce's version first cuz i feel like i kno what's gonna happen as the movie plays, but i still love what i'm seein' and these were the days where movies were all about big screen magic! i love this version as much as i love Beyonce's version! Carmen is such a fun story!
@hotsugargirl When I was a teenager I use to dress and wear my hair just like Dorothy Dandridge in this movie I grew up thinking she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
weren't feelin diahann carrol get up in this film but, still beautiful. my grandma still watches recordings of the show she started in, in 1968 which is julia. my mom loves claudine espically when she beats that girl with the brush when she found out that she was pregnant.
I was just a little girl when I first saw that swirl of red on the screen. I knew nothing of what was to come...Bizet's dazzling melodies.The marvelous lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein.And then...and then...Carmen herself...beauty & superb acting.When I saw Harry Belafonte blow Carmen's toes dry,I knew I was growing up. I adore everything about this perfect movie.So happy to keep it alive.

I just love this part with the arrival of Husky Miller. It's great music. The entire cast of people with similar complexions to my own has always made me feel connected to this movie. It's a movie brilliant with top notch stars, performers - Dorothy, Dianne Carroll, Harry, Pearl Bailey, Brock. I grew up watching them and believe me, they were all ahead of their game. And Dorothy was my matinee idol, I tried hard to look like her when I grew up! I didn't stand a chance :D
can we never stop this racist shit,and enjoy the wonderful talent these performers had ,this has to be one of the most enjoyable movies of all time, the translation of Toreador lyric is brilliant ,and Pearl Baily should have received an Oscar for her role, there should be a special Academy formed to honor artists posthumously, Bobbysnr @ g mail Dublin Eire
i love how this film incorporated race issues from america in the 1940s into carmen. the original carmen is a gypsy and gypsies still suffer discrimination in europe. all the suffering and its response fits very well for opera. not condoning discrimination or suffering. it is part of the human condition and the best artistic efforts seem to be a response to suffering.
all i could say is tht im almost 20 and i love seein black women like this in flim....smart,charming,beautiful, and funny....not ghetto stereotypes tht the media would love to show to younger generation of black people.....insted of stuff like this and for the most part race is all around and u can find it anywhere and if u dont see color then u dont see me at all!!!!
the women in this movie are very, very beautiful. thanks for the upload. this shows that african american women can do more than shake a booty in today's videos. what happened to this world?
Love this movie....Dorothy Dandridge was a perfect Carmen, feisty, sassy and absolutely gorgeous. Everyone in the movie was beautiful classy and I love the women's dresses of that time. And OMG is Diane Carroll like a teenager in this movie or what, so pretty and still is!!
Its good to see an african american movie without a ghetto, misery, drug dealers, crackheads, pop lockin, weed smokin, cussin, life dont go my way so i have a proplem with the white man type of movie. We constantly complain about the sterotypes people put on us but look at what is representing us today!!! We are a living contridiction
a tad bit of trivia: durin' the year that dorothy dandridge was nominated as best lead actress she was also the FIRST black to present an award at the oscars in the category of best film editing.
i know alot of you guys are sayin janet jackson and halle berry favors dorthy,,,but what about tiearra marie? at the 3:11 mark i swear i thought i was looking at teairra mari wow.
Sad to say that African-Americans never got the reconition for the awesome movies they made! Dorothy, and alot of these beautiful talented Black women should of received Oscars for the work they did! We should salute them and honor them for their great contributions to film!
@chino1922 Dorothy was nominated but was up against some heavyweights of her time like Audrey Hepburn, July Garland and Grace Kelly, who won the Oscar. Race did had a role to play in it though but give her credit for competing with the legends as she is one herself.
@chino1922 This movie ain't even the tip of all that we have done great !!! thats hidden because of jealousy ! . All this movie proved was the complete obvious ! that we are some great ass people point blank secretly the envy of others .
@Antwansuperstar21 ..Dont tute your horn too much! All I said was how some of the black actors were just as great as the others! I didnt say All the black movies were the shit! I'm saying in my opinion I think they should of got reconition for the ones that where good! I'm not envy of another race in the least bit, I just like great movies! Take a compliment when you get one!
@chino1922 , I don't have to tute any horn whoever you are !! And i could care less about what you think because it doesn't matter who the hell are you? I got where you where going with your comment i also didn't say all black movies were great no one is perfect yet my people are great and that for more reasons than a damned movie good day.
@chino1922 , I also need no damn compliment from you im not in the damn movie thank those who were how ignorant was that comment ? I never mentioned race because it doesn't even exist i was just making a solid point that can be backed up !! you don't mistreat people who you don't think can beat you at your own game the truth goes deeper than that.
@Antwansuperstar21 ..Who gives a fuck! Dont comment on my comments! Its always idiots like you that have to say negative shit! Especially when my comment said it all! Next time keep to yourself!
@chino1922 , I don't give a fuck lol. And i simply let you know my deal !! . If you didn't want' people to comment on your sad ass comment don't convey pity because we don't need it you should have it for those then and now that allowed the shit to happen and go on because you reap what you sow.
Onj the flip side you stand corrected as i have read that someone let you know that Mrs Dandridge was nominated for a oscar but no matter her gifts a beauty if she wasn't a maid she wasn't going to win.
@Antwansuperstar21 ..This comment had nothing to do with we! MF your not making movies! Cant give a compliment or say anything cause there always one to stand up and play the race card!
@chino1922 , Your the mf asshole and you don't know what im doing... Who the hell is talking about race card when race is a made up concept by racist in the first place ? Are you really this inane ? This is fact and the truth that you8 can't deny you fool JIM CROW JUMP we weren't treated fairly and thats the truth that still remains race card has no play in that.
THIS is what anamorphic widescreen (CinemaScope, Panavision, etc.) is for! Long takes with deep depth of field. Not 10 second close-ups like today in Hollywood, with people's necks and foreheads cut off. THIS was filmmaking.
"Stand up & fight until you hear the bell. Stand toe to toe, trade blow for blow." Wish we could get all our politicians into the Ring. Let them slug it out & show what they're made of! Who REALLY has the courage of his stated convictions. That's what my local Sinn Fein Cllr did for charity last night. Fair Play, John !!!
this movie is hands down the best movie of its kind that ive ever seen, im only 21 but its refreshing as a young african american women to see such a talented cast of people who look like me. It makes me proud to be a women of color
