Set to the unmistakable music of Georges Bizet’s Carmen and starring an all-Black cast led by Dorothy Dandridge and the late Harry Belafonte, Otto Preminger’s lush CinemaScope adaptation of the Broadway hit moves the story to an army camp during WWII. For her remarkable performance in the title role, Dorothy Dandridge became the first Black actress to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.
