favorite scene in the film?


What was your favorite scene of the film? I've have so many! I like the scene where Joe catched up to Carmen after chasing her across the railroad tracks, binds her feet and hands and carries her back the Jeep. I love that scene!

I agree! So many wonderful scenes!!!!

I like the scene and dialogue when Carmen is riding
in the jeep with Joe and is flirting with him as
he drives along the road...

I like the scene in the house when she cleans
his shoes, fixes his belt, makes dinner for
him and of course we know they made
passionate love that night

I like the scene in Chicago when he playfully
blows on her toes to dry the polish

The Lunch room scene "Dat's Love" Carmen working her wiles on Joe early on. So hot.

My all time favorite scene: Carmen in her Zebra Striped Panties and Black Bra while telling Joe "Blow on 'em sugar - makes 'em dry faster!" after she has just painted her toe nails.

YOU MADE ME PLAY SECOND BASE!

Husky Miller's introduction. The amount of fanfare and excitement of that scene is nothing short of infectious. The way he stands over the crowd and describes the intensity inside the ring with his mighty singing voice has such a massive authority that you can't watch it without being entranced. The scene is also important to the movie because Carmen starts to get tempted by this man's charisma, and establishes the conflict for the rest of the story. It's the best number in one of my favorite musicals that always leaves me delighted.

Carmen singing in the cafeteria and in between lines says to the guy serving food, "Give me a chicken sandwich". Great film, great cast. Ms Dandridge was indeed a very beautiful lady and I just couln't get enough of looking at her. I'm glad she was in practically every scene.

The scene where the "sweet little gal" finally gives up on Joe and sings that sad song while leaving.

Most of the musical scenes. I can't remember the names of all the songs but I like Husky's song, the song Carmen sings while she's in the jeep with Joey, Dat's love and Beat out that rhythm.

I really like the lunchroom scene, but the scene when Carmen is getting dressed to go see Husky Miller (and not return to Joe) is also a favorite!
