Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II’s immortaI musical adaptation of Edna Ferber’s sprawling novel receives its most faithful and enduring cinematic adaptation under the elegant direction of James Whale. A rich portrait of changing American entertainment traditions and race relations, Show Boat spans four decades and three generations as it foIIows the fortunes of the stage-struck Magnolia (lrene Dunne), an aspiring actor whose journey takes her from her famiIy’s humble fIoating playhouse 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, souI-shaking rendition of "OI’ Man River" is one of the crowning glories of the American stage and screen.
