I was 7 or 8 when I first saw Carmen Jones. For the next 50 years, I had periodic dreams of a dark woman doing a gypsy dance for soldiers to the Bizet tune, Carmen. My memory of the actual scene was not accurate, but the feeling she aroused in this pre-pubescent lad were real... and reoccurring. It was such a relief to get this all figured out in my mind what I saw Hallie Berry in a TV production, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. I had to run out and find a copy of this and let all the memories of a lifetime from my boyhood become refreshed.
