Porgy and Bess

The Goldwyn Touch!...more dramatic than ever before!

In the early 1900s, the fictional Catfish Row section of Charleston, South Carolina serves as home to a black fishing community. Crippled beggar Porgy, who travels about in a goat-drawn cart, loves the drug-addicted Bess, who lives with stevedore Crown, the local bully.

Directed by: Otto Preminger
