| 41. | Hollywood.com - Top Stories - Movies: Musicals of Scope by Bill Desowitz, Special to The Times | | | Three fascinating musicals, "Porgy and Bess," "Lady and the Tramp" and "A Star Is Born," highlight the fourth annual WideScreen Film Festival, held over the next two weekends at Cal State Long Beach's Carpenter Performing Arts Center. All three films, rarely screened, will be shown Saturday, with "Porgy and Bess" being the real find. (Category Editor Valsadie says: The Gershwins' displeasure with this film version of "Porgy and Bess" starring Dorothy Dandridge, Sidney Poitier, and Sammy Davis Jr. is *legendary.* They effectively pulled every print from distribution and have refused to let it be seen on television or appear on home video. Outside of special occasions -- like Gershwin's 100th birthday noted here, and Sammy Davis Jr.'s Kennedy Center Medal Honor Ceremony in which brief clips of the film were shown -- "Porgy and Bess" has not been seen or screened in years.)
