All rights reserved.| 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."

I previously owned a recorded copy and lost it in a housefire and had been looking for a replacement. I was so excited when I found it on EBAY and at a reasonable price. Thanks to EBAY,I have been able to replace almost all the movies and books I lost in the fire. Thank you so Much !! Review ID: 10000000002063179 Was this review helpful?

We looked around here in my town about getting some musicals they were going to charge $20.00 for them. I came here and looked for some of the old musicals she liked and was very impressed with the price and cost of shipping. Review ID: 10000000001567765 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
