Show Boat (1936)

Step aboard the Cotton Palace with us this week as we cruise our way down the Mississippi River into Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein's 1936 film Show Boat. Starring Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Charles Winninger, Paul Robeson, Helen Morgan, Helen Westley, Queenie Smith, Sammy White, Donald Cook, and the legendary Hattie McDaniel.. This film marks review # 11 of the AFI list of Greatest Movie Musicals of all time."Old Man River really is masterpiece and not just Paul's incredible performance but the unbelievable camera work and creative direction.""If only Hattie McDaniel was given opportunities to play bigger and more spotlight roles - she truly is a legend. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. If only she had todays opportunities""This guy is droppin' more receipts than A Real Housewife of Bravo TV."
