Carmen Jones is a 1954 American musical film produced and directed by Otto Preminger. The screenplay by Harry Kleiner is based on the libretto for the 1943 stage production of the same name by Oscar Hammerstein II, which was inspired by an adaptation of the 1845 Prosper Merimee novella Carmen by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halevy. Hammerstein also wrote the lyrics to music composed by Georges Bizet for his 1875 opera Carmen.
