A movie not to miss? Add to My Movies!   James Whale's adaptation of the Edna Ferber book/Kern-Hammerstein musical is considered the best of the three screen versions exploring the intertwining lives of a Mississippi showboat troupe. After leading couple Julie (Helen Morgan) and Steve (Donald Cook) are fired because of racism, the captain's daughter, Magnolia (Irene Dunne), gets her long-awaited chance to perform. When handsome drifter Gaylord Ravenal (Allan Jones) is cast opposite her, the two begin a roller-coaster ride of love and loss. Boasting lovely performances of songs like "Ol' Man River" and "Can't Help Lovin' That Man," SHOW BOAT is a touching, tragic classic.
