| | Notes | A musical/opera about the poor black folk of Catfish row. The disabled Porgy loves the beautiful Bess. If I remember rightly Brock Peters uses a goat cart to move about. Thanks to Albert Sanchez Moreno who corrects me here: In "Porgy and Bess",it was Sidney Poitier (in the role of Porgy) who used a goat cart to get around. Brock Peters played Crown,the able-bodied villain and murderer.
