Description

Carmen Jones (1954)

The tale of the cigarette-maker Carmen and the Spanish cavalry soldier Don Jose is translated into a contemporary 1954 story of a parachute factory worker and a stalwart GI named Joe who is about to go to flying school. Conflict arises when a prize-ring champ captures the heart of Carmen after she has seduced Joe and caused him to go AWOL. Carmen Jones was based on the 1943 Broadway musical by Oscar Hammerstein II, itself an adaptation of Georges Bizet's 1875 opera Carmen.
