starring Harry Bclafonte Dorothy Dandridge with Pearl Bailey
This dazzling version of Bizet's Carmen is set during World War II with lyrics in the jazz idiom by Oscar Hammerstein II.
Dorothy Dandridge gives her best-ever screen performance as the passion- ate, sultry Carmen who always gets her man. As the young serviceman trying to get to flying school, Harry Belafonte does everything he can-but not quite enough - to stay out of her clutches. (voice Of LE VERN HUTCHERSON) (voice Of MARILYN HORNE) (voice of MARVIN HAYES)

The courage and humour of a Yorkshire family in a documentary made at Old Town, a moor-land village near Hebden Bridge.
Acre Mill, once a factory for asbestos products, still casts its shadow over life there, for many who worked in the mill have died, and more continue to suffer, from the lung disease asbestosis.
Now there are plans to demolish part of the building. Would new clouds of killer dust be released?
