A rich montage of Gershwin's popular and classical music outstandingly performed and presented. If you love Gershwin, don't miss this one. CAST NOTES: Robert Alda's film debut. Al Jolson's last credited film role. He made a brief uncredited appearance in "The Jolson Story" (1946). TRIVIA: The Catfish Row set in the "Porgy and Bess" sequence is an exact duplicate of the original 1935 set for the opera's first Broadway production. George Gershwin's music has been in the public domain since 2007.
