77. Porgy And The Bess (1959)

The legendary Gershwin musical had a rough ride on its way to the big screen. Sidney Poitier had to be dubbed, Sammy Davis Jr wasn't allowed to sing and the set caught fire before filming had even begun! That it stands as an entertaining and celebrated African-American opera is testimony to director Otto Preminger's talent.
