OK for a 60 year old film
I've searched for this for years and finally....... It is grainy , It's not HD quality as some of the reviewers already admitted. but what do you expect from 60year old film that has not yet been released properly?? WHY?? Something to do with the Gershwin estate,and MGM. Watch in B&W and it will take you back to be able to experience it as when I was a child. Glad I finally got a chance to purchase it. Altho bootleg its worth the 15 bucks.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent classic movie - Lousy work by the Blax Film company.
This classic screen work should have been restored, digitized and re-recorded from the original film stock but instead, the quality resembles a home copied version from a worn out VCR tape. The Blax Film people did a lousy job in copying this video. They didn't even wait until the ending screen until they just pressed the STOP button and ended the recording. Excellent movie - very unprofessional job of transferring it to DVD just to make a quick buck. Garage shop workmanship at best. Two stars for the poor quality recording.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fitting
It was impossible to get anywhere else than on eBay. A great movies and wonderful music. While the quality of production was not 100%, it brought back the great memory of having seen it on the big screen in the 1959. What a shame political correctness has seen it nearly disappear.

Film transfer God Awful
Good: Story Line and Character Driven Plot all players had a specific role that thy acted to perfection !! Song's some classic music suited in the African American Experience, Customs and props all reflective of that time period and the Set was realistic enough for it to be based on a Single stage it worked even the basic special effects worked !! BAD: THE WHOLE FILM TRANSFER VIDEO AN SOUND HORRIOD BARELY ABLE TO SET THROUGH MADE MY EYES HURT AL ASPECTS OF THE FILM WHERE SO DEGRADED TO THE POINT IT MADE NO SENSE TO RELEASE IT IN THIS CONDITION COMPLETE FILM BLASPHEMY, I've reached out to CRITERION FILMS and suggested thy enter into talks to Remaster itVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF BROADWAY MUSICALS
Sammy Davis,Jr. was such a character in this film! Brock Peters was so evil. Pearl Bailey--what a singer! Sidney Portier could break your heart;and, Dorothy Dandridge was awesome!!This movie takes you back to the New Orleans of long ago. The film quality is not the best---but, if you can get past that, what a treasure!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A Decent Version Of A Great Movie
Been looking for this DVD for years. Image quality not the best. ( like a VHS tape) But since I could never find this movie in VHS format, I had to do without until now. I give it Five stars for what it is, a decent version of a great movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Porgy
I had seen every movie on the AFI top 100 lists except this one as it was never released on DVD and has rarely been on TV. Quality is so so as advertised,but very watchable. Thanks for making it available.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Porgy & Bess deseves a remake
It's a shame that the transfer is so poor; everything is basically brown. And, furthermore, it isn't a good movie based on the classic Gershwin play. Characters are miscasyt, esp. Sidney Poitier. Pearl is just loud and PEARL BAILY! Sad: I don'tVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Unrestored
I loved this when I saw it decades ago. Have looked for it since. Bought a copy years ago, which was very degraded. Bought this one hoping it was restored/remastered. Just as degraded as the other one. Horrible quality. So disappointing...again! No issues with seller.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not the best quality dvd
The quality of the dvd was poor. However, since the purpose of purchase was wanting to see the story behind the music was good enough. Regardless of the time period the movie was made, I still expected a better feature with today's technology $10 was way too much to spend for the quality I received.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
