CARMEN JONES (1954) 23069

This is an original 20th Century-Fox one sheet Poster (27x41) for the Otto Preminger musical, CARMEN JONES (1954) starring Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge. This unique film is a contemporary version of the Bizet opera with new lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and an Oscar-nominated score by Herschel Burke Gilbert with an African-American cast. Even though Belafonte and Dandridge were both accomplished singers, their singing voices were dubbed in the film by LeVern Hutcherson and a young Marilyn Horne. The Oscar-nominated performance by Dandridge in the title role is the most memorable feature of the film. This original one-sheet poster is in very fine condition and is linen backed.
