Description

Very neat bookplate of previous owner inside front cover. No marks or inscriptions. Very tiny creases to upper front and lower rear corners of covers. A lovely clean very tight copy with unmarked slightly sunned boards and no bumping to corners. 128pp. This superb book starts with a brief history of the production of the musical Porgy and Bess, written by George and Ira Gershwin and by DuBose Heyward. It gives the Cast and Credits of the 1935 production at the Alvin Theatre, New York, details of the revival in 1953, the Cast and Credits of the 1959 Samuel Goldwyn motion picture directed by Otto Preminger starring Disney Poitier and of the 1976 production at the Uris Theatre, New York. With a wealth of black & white photographs and film posters plus the music and lyrics of every one of the songs.
