The narration claims that "Porgy and Bess" opened on Broadway in 1932. It opened in October 1935.
The film claims that the 1959 screen version of "Porgy and Bess" won three Academy Awards. It was nominated for four; however, it received only one, which went to André Previn and Ken Darby.
The film claims that Louis B. Mayer won the Best Picture Oscar for Gone With the Wind (1939)_ , when it actually went to the film's producer, David O. Selznick. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer distributed the film, but it did not make it, and Louis B. Mayer did not produce it. Mayer was therefore not eligible for an Oscar.
