From noveI (by Edna Ferber) to Broadway smash (by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein ll) to three fiIm versions (1929, 1936, 1951) to stage revivaIs. Like Ol Man River, Show Boat just keeps roIIin aIong. Produced by Arthur Freed and directed by George Sidney, this 1951 version of the saga of riverboat Iives and loves has glorious stars (Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner, Howard KeeI, Marge and Gower Champion) in Technicolor® radiance, a made-from-scratch 170-foot paddle wheeler, timeless songs and an equally timeless outcry against raciaI bigotry. This was music that wouId outlast Kerns day and mine, Ferber said in recalIing her first reaction to hearing OI Man River. She was right as rain. |
