	Show Boat (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Show Boat is the name of a musical film based on the stage musical of the same name by Jerome Kern (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II(script and lyrics), which Hammerstein adapted from the novel by Edna Ferber.
		This was the only film version of Show Boat to be given a road show presentation, and the only one of the three film versions to run over two hours (the stage version ran three hours originally, and was filmed in 1936 and 1951 at a length of slightly less than two hours).
		"Show Boat" was remade in 1951 by MGM in Technicolor, starring Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner, Howard Keel, Joe E. Brown, Marge Champion, Gower Champion, William Warfield, Robert Sterling, Agnes Moorehead and Leif Erickson.

		They took tryouts of "Show Boat" to Washington, Pittsburgh (it played the old Nixon Theater for a week in November), Cleveland and Philadelphia before its Dec. 27, 1927, opening at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York.
		"Show Boat," which spans the period from the 1880s to the Roaring '20s, tells the story of a floating theater called the Cotton Blossom and the performers who inhabit it or, to their heartbreak, are banished from it.
		Julie, the show's leading lady who is happily married to the leading man, is the product of a mixed marriage.

	Movie Review: Show Boat / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		For years, Whale's version of the Show Boat stage show was suppressed by MGM, which had bought the rights for the studio's own 1951 remake of it –; and went out of its way (as MGM also did with the 1931 Dr.
		Show Boat marked Helen Morgan's last film appearance – and despite the fact that she apparently had to have coffee poured into her, or even had to be thrown into a cold shower between takes, it's easy to see why she was one of the chanteuses of her era.
		The movie's not perfect, but it's primary flaws are those of a rather soapy stage original and a book that places all the most memorable songs – "Make Believe," "Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine" and "Ol' Man River" – at its outset.

		The star singer on the Cotton Blossom, beautiful Julie LaVerne (Ava Gardner), and her husband (Robert Sterling) run afoul of Southern law when the sheriff discovers that she is mulatto and her husband is white.
		"Candor compels the observation that Show Boat has never reached the screen (it was also done, you may remember, in 1929) in anything like the visual splendor and richness of the musical score as are tastefully brought together in the brilliant re-creation of the show.
		Show Boat was the 2nd highest-grossing film of the year.

		When the show's leading lady, Julie (Ava Gardner), and leading man, Steve (Robert Sterling), are forced to leave when Julie's mulatto heritage is revealed by disgruntled suitor Pete (Leif Erickson), Magnolia and Gaylord step into the vacant stage roles and score a hit.
		Virtually all of the Kern-Hammerstein songs are retained for this version of Show Boat (though none of the songs specially written for the 1936 film version are heard).
		Even so, Show Boat does have Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson at their peak, not to mention the peerless Joe E. Brown as Captain Andy.

	Show Boat
		Unlike the majority of musicals that were made at roughly the same time it was, Show Boat is suffused with a number of dark themes, which are able to engage the viewer with the story the film tells in a way the trite narratives of many of those other movies cannot.
		Show Boat is so consistently lavish and colorful that it is always a joy simply to look at.
		I cannot say that I was ever awed by the beauty of the movie's songs, and I was rarely impressed by the talent of either Grayson or Keel, but most of the numbers performed are, at the least, enjoyable.

		This last one would have been part of the movie's final sequence in which Kim (played as an adult by Sunnie O'Dea) makes her debut in a leading role on Broadway.
		She was supposed to have sung the song in addition to dancing to it.
		The vocal of "Gallivantin' Around" was eventually cut from this final sequence, but much of the rest of the scene remains in the film, except for a "modern" portion which shows how dancing evolved from the nineteenth century to the jazz era.

		Pete returns with the local sheriff, who comes aboard and insists that the show not go on, because Julie is a mulatto woman married to a white man, and local laws prohibit miscegenation.
		The miscegenation was not referred to at all; it was simply mentioned on the show that Julie and her husband had left the boat - no reason given.
		Show Boat recently was produced in June 2006 by Raymond Gubbay at London's Royal Albert Hall, the first ever fully staged musical production in the history of this venue, directed by Francesca Zambello, and conducted by David Charles Abell.

		In the first scene, the first line of the movie announcing the arrival of the showboat is spoken by Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.

		On the other hand, this is the version of Show Boat that, for better or worse, most filmgoers and most people have come to know for a half century.
		The DVD release takes the next step -- the movie glows from its first frame to its last; what's more, the detail that shows through now makes even the last laserdisc edition look pale, muted, and anemic by comparison.
		The only bonus material is the original trailer, which is as faded and fuzzy as the movie used to look on video, but the 28 chapters divide the movie up into all of its essential musical and dramatic points.
