October 23, 2007
Preminger's heavy-handed adaptation of a Broadway triumph combines gorgeous music with risible lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II; the project is saved by a terrific cast.
February 09, 2007
Woefully miscast in places and extremely dubious in its portrayal of African-Americans but does boast an on-form Dorothy Dandridge.
February 10, 2007
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.
October 01, 2009
A film in which talented, attractive people sing ugly lyrics to beautiful music in other people's beautiful voices amid ugly shot framing and ill-timed cutting.
February 10, 2007
The best reason to revisit Carmen Jones lies in Dorothy Dandridge's electrifying performance, which saw her become the first African-American to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar.

A crazy mixed-up film.
January 27, 2008
Electric performance by Dorothy Dandridge as the sultry whorish Carmen Jones.
October 23, 2007
Otto Preminger has transferred it to the screen with taste and imagination in an opulent production.
December 17, 2013
If 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.
July 14, 2010
Dorothy 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.
February 09, 2006
The somewhat heavy-handed direction and the ultimately two-dimensional characters leave you iring the workmanship without plucking at the necessary emotional/romantic heart-strings.
October 23, 2007
Impeccably liberal in its time, the film has not aged gracefully, although Dorothy Dandridge's performance in the lead remains a testimony to a black cinema that might have been.
