CARMEN JONES (1954) – AFI Movie Club

A riveting rendition of “Carmen” with an all-Black cast, CARMEN JONES (1954) stars Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge – who earned an Academy Award® nomination for her performance as the title character, making her the first African American woman to be nominated for a leading role. The film also marked the first movie title sequence created by Oscar®-winning graphic designer – and AFI Honorary Degree recipient – Saul Bass.
