Porgy and Bess

horge and bess is notoriously unavailable due to a confusion over rigts stemming from multiple sales of the samuel goldwin catalogue. The estates of george and ira girshmin do not like premenger's adaptation and have historically not wanted the film to be seen. By the time it was released in 19 59, its story and style seemed dated. It only made back about half of its enormous, for its time, seven million dollar production cost. After that, dorothy never made another film in hollywood. She married a huckster night club promoter named jack denison and lost a lot of money in celebrity capital supporting and performing at his dinky clubs.
