Top CriticThe brilliant score by the Gershwins and DuBose Heyward, however, will last forever, while Preminger's veteran cameraman, Leon Shamroy, did a wonderful job and the art direction by Serge Krizman and Joseph Wright is sensational.

Top CriticThis is a stunning, exciting and moving film, packed with human emotions and cheerful and mournful melodies. It bids fair to be as much a classic on the screen as it is on the stage.
03/25/06
Top CriticThat it stands as an entertaining spectacle and the director's best musical is secondary in interest to the Hollywood politics surrounding it.
05/24/03
Top CriticA mediocre curio.

Should this Porgy and Bess be locked away? It ain't necessarily so.
