Carmen Jones
Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte
20th Century Fox, 2002

I decided to purchase "Carmen Jones" for a number of reasons. Chief among these reasons is that this movie is historical for my race, African-American. Dorothy Dandridge was the first African-American woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for best actress. ...
