Is this what you get *inside* screen, too?

Then on one hand I don't understand why mc doesn't give you 256
colors; on the other hand I guess your top line (the menu bar) is not
properly painted.  Screen requires that inside it TERM is set to
screen (or some variant, e.g. screen-256color).

Try putting this in your .screenrc:
term screen-256color

Make sure your .bashrc or similar doesn't override TERM to some
non-256color version either.
