Carmen Jones (1954) 
It was groundbreaking as one of the only movies with an all black cast released during the 50's, and it would help pave the way for many movies with all black casts to come. It is also the movie for which Dorothy Dandridge earned her historical Academy Award nomination for best actress. You can't miss the on screen chemistry between Dandridge and Harry Belafonte. It is a modern adaptation of the classic opera Carmen and it may become one of the most steamy musicals you'll ever see.
You can watch the trailer below. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!
