Endnote: I'm still waiting for Otto Preminger's Porgy and Bess, starring Sidney Poitier, Dorothy Dandridge, and Sammy Davis Jr., to hit DVD. I'm thankful SIFF held a screening at the Cinerama a few years ago. I might never have seen it otherwise. Images from Wikipedia and ISAM/Museum of Modern Art Film Stills Archive.
