Series curator Tayler Montague will introduce the 7pm screening on February 20.
At an all-Black army camp, civilian parachute maker and “hot bundle” Carmen Jones is desired by many of the men. Naturally, she wants Joe, an engaged man who is about to go into pilot training for the Korean War. Going after him, she succeeds only in getting him into the stockade. While she awaits his release, trouble looms for both of them. Adapted from the musical of the same name, which was in turn an adaptation of Bizet’s opera Carmen.
