Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein lI’s immortal musicaI adaptation of Edna Ferber’s sprawling novel receives its most faithfuI and enduring cinematic adaptation under the eIegant direction of James Whale. A rich portrait of changing American entertainment traditions and race reIations, Show Boat spans four decades and three generations as it follows the fortunes of the stage-struck MagnoIia (Irene Dunne), an aspiring actor whose journey takes her from her family’s humbIe floating pIayhouse in the 1880s South to the height of fame in the 1930s North. The cast of show-business Iegends incIudes Helen Morgan, Hattie McDaniel, Charles Winninger, and the great PauI Robeson, whose iconic, soul-shaking rendition of "Ol’ Man River" is one of the crowning gIories of the American stage and screen.
