| Movie Description This vivacious remake of the Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein musical (based on an Edna Ferber novel) about life on a Mississippi riverboat tracks the hardships of Julie Laverne (Ava Gardner), a mulatto trying to pass for white while also following the course of a tumultuous love between a captain's daughter, Magnolia Hawks (Kathryn Grayson), and an itinerant gambler, Gaylord Ravenal (Howard Keel). Gardner (with help from Annette Warren, whose voice was overdubbed for Gardner's songs) gives a heartbreaking performance, and Grayson's clear, pure voice soars, set off magnificently by Keel's rich baritone. The film stands as a classic for both its surprising emotional impact and its well-known score, featuring timeless gems such as "Old Man River" and "Can't Help Lovin' that Man of Mine."

Here's your review EBAY,now leave me alone!!! Review ID: 10000000008931546 Was this review helpful? Report this review  ShowboatThis is a 1950s movie for my DVD "library". Great music, interesting shift in mores. Ave Gardner was not given recognition she deserved as a natural actress. Review ID: 10000000008587610 Was this review helpful?

Report this review show boat DVD / older classic musicalsThe older musicals are not available in any rental store. When you need to watch one to prep for a audition in a production it is next to impossible to find the original on DVD. This ebay site has all of the classics and they are the original production. It is the best way to get a flavor for the character before your audition. The fact they they are remastered and new is the gravy! Finding them on EBAY has helped me to get hired for many parts and brings a substantial extra income into our household. ONCE MORE, THANK GOD FOR EBAY!!
