Presenting Porgy and Bess as a motion picture represents the fulfillment of a dream I have had for many years. It is also my personal tribute to George Gershwin, America's great composer. George Gershwin was a dear friend of mine, and his brother and collaborator, Ira, still is. They combined their talents with those of DuBose Heyward, one of America's most distinguished poets and novelists, in Porgy and Bess, they created an American classic. The years that have passed since its first appearance on the stage have but served to enhance its stature in America and throughout the world. It has brought joy to the hearts of all who have seen it or heard its superb songs and music. It has brought glory to our country by its contribution to the music and drama of the world. To film it for the screen was not only a dream but a challenge. There has never been a picture in which great music was such an integral part of the unfolding dramatic action as in Porgy and Bess. For many years I sought to be allowed the privilege of making Porgy and Bess as a motion picture. I feel deeply honored that Ira Gershwin, Dorothy Heyward and the heirs of George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward have expressed their confidence in me by permitting me to bring this classic to the screen. For over two years, with the assistance of the finest talent available in every phase of motion picture making, we have attempted to merit this trust. We have striven for a motion picture which would convey to the world the poignancy of the drama and the magnificence of the music that have made Porgy and Bess a symbol of American creative greatness. Our work on Porgy and Bess is now finished. It is the hope of all of us that the picture will bring something of the same measure of joy and pleasure to those who see it that was ours while making it.…
