En 1912, en un pueblo de pescadores de Carolina del Sur, Bess (Dorothy Dandridge), una mujer con mala reputación, trata de librarse de Crown, su amante (Brock Peters). La única persona dispuesta a pasar por alto su pasado es Porgy (Sidney Poitier), un tullido. Pero su relación se ve amenazada por la desaprobación de la gente y por el retorno de Crown. Basada en la ópera homónima del compositor George Gershwin, cuyo libreto es obra de Ira Gershwin y DuBose Heyward. (FILMAFFINITY)
