* One title that immediately comes to mind is Preminger's *Carmen Jones*,
* in which Bizet's opera is "updated" and transported to the US: here, not
* just a single character, but the entire piece is transported from the
* mean streets of Seville to the mean streets of the south (and eventually,
* Chicago). Here, the entire cast is African-American. (Harry Belafonte
* plays Joe, aka Don Jose.)
Black Caesar and BET's The Odd Couple come to mind.
