Enjoyed seeing Dorothy Dandridge,(Jane Richards),"Carmen Jones",'53, in this picture which was directed by Gerald Mayer,a relative of Louis B. Mayer. In this film Jane Richards starts her first year of teaching at an all Black School and enjoys each and every student. However, she does take particular notice to a boy called "CJ" who is a sort of daydreamer and manages to be left back for two(2) years in almost every grade in school. The entire school has given up on this young boy and even the principal of the school begins to think it is a good idea to dismiss him from school. Dorothy Dandridge was a great African American actress and very talented and was a big success in "Carmen Jones", where she gave a fantastic performance. Dorothy's career soon started to disappear because her race was not portrayed on the Silver Screen in the 50's along with other great Black Entertainers. It is sad when you think that Dorothy Dandrige could have gone on in her career and given us many years of great entertainment.
