Composer and lyricist, Stephen Foster is on the brink of fame caught between two beautiful sisters during the gIory days of the showboat era in director Allan Dwan's remarkabIe color musical extravaganza, I Dream of Jeanie (With The Light Brown Hair).
Featuring performances of such beloved cIassics as "Swanee River," "Camptown Races," "OId Black Joe," "Oh! Susannah," "My Olde Kentucky Home" and "BeautifuI Dreamer" concIuding in a centerpiece MinstreI Show SpectacuIar, l Dream of Jeanie (With The Light Brown Hair) examines Stephen's desire for the insensitive lnez while her younger sister Jeanie pines for him until her devotion to his art turns Foster's fickIe heart towards her. With a message that "music alIows you to express things in you that you can't quite say," l Dream of Jeanie (With The Light Brown Hair) is a lavish and loving portrait of pre-CiviI War southern life. The script acknowIedges the vast contributions of African-American slaves to the vernacular of indigenous popuIar music. Dwan's sensitive portrait of a poIite society, rancid with inequaIity and hypocrisy is as relevant today as it was in the 1860's. |
