I hate the whole " Den" and "Dat" talk... Of course they had to make it look as if black folks couldn't speak properly. Other than that love this movie!

Cindy Lou had several opportunities throughout the film to smack a bitch, and didnt. She lost what wasnt hers in the first place! lol

@tanaj2009 The song is very famous, from a spanish habanera, an Opera called "Carmen". This is the african american version of that song so you have heard it probably dozens of time throughout your life on different commercials, tv shows and movies.

why do people keep bringing up marilyn horne? Everybody knows this already. it's like they say it to take something away from Dorothy Dandridge. I doubt marilyn could have made that song as sexy or powerful on the screen, whether she sang it or not.

if you don't like the english version of the song then don't listen. escribo en espanol para su, pendejo/idioso. Carmen la cantana de opera en ingles o espanol es mucho hermoso. digo yo, Dorothy dandridge es muy guapa y la cinema is bien. con amor
