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