The Top Classic Movies From The Last Century

Carmen Jones (1954)

Carmen Jones features an all-Black cast that was rare for this time period. Otto Preminger directed this film that stars Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte. Carmen Jones has been hailed as ahead of its time for decades.

 

The story follows a new girl in town who captures the attention of all of the men. Of course, she has one man in mind, but how easy can that relationship be? All in all, the film is super erotic (hence "ahead of its time) but tasteful!
