Show Boat
Exuberant MGM rehash of James Whale's original (made for Universal) that is brightly colouredand highly evocative of the era of the Mississippi showboats. Kern and Hammerstein are responsible for the words and music and songs include 'Ol' Man River', 'Can't Help Loving That Man' and 'Make Believe'. Gardner, Keel, Warfield, Brown and Grayson all give sterling performances in this musical which, strangely, wasn't nominated for a single Oscar!
