Plot Synopsis  	by Hal Erickson



The third and (to date) last film version of the Edna Ferber/Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein II musical Show Boat falls
just short of greatness but is still a whale of a show. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are in fine fettle as
irresponsible gambler Gaylord Ravenal and showboat ingenue Magnolia Hawks. The plot adheres closely to the Broadway
original making several welcome improvements in the final act (which was always a bit shaky). Magnolia, daughter of
showboat impresario Captain Andy (Joe E. Brown) and Parthy Hawkes (Agnes Moorehead), falls head over heels in love with
the raffish Ravenal. When the show's leading lady, Julie (Ava Gardner), and leading man, Steve (Robert Sterling), are
forced to leave when Julie's mulatto heritage is revealed by disgruntled suitor Pete (Leif Erickson), Magnolia and
Gaylord step into the vacant stage roles and score a hit. Eventually, the two are married and for several months are
quite happy. After incurring serious gambling losses, however, Gaylord walks out of Magnolia's life never realizing that
his wife is expecting a baby. With the help of her former showboat colleagues Ellie and Frank Schultz (Marge and Gower
Champion) and a behind-the-scenes assist from the tragic Julie, Magnolia secures work as a Cabaret singer in Chicago.
Her new year's eve debut threatens to be a bust until her father Captain Andy quells the rowdy crowd and guides his
daughter through a lovely rendition of After the Ball (a Charles K. Harris tune that pops up in every stage version of
Show Boat). Magnolia returns to her family, with her daughter Kim in tow. Upon learning from Julie that he has a
daughter, Gaylord returns to Magnolia and Kim, setting the stage for a joyous ending.



Virtually all of the Kern-Hammerstein songs are retained for this version of Show Boat (though none of the songs
specially written for the 1936 film version are heard). These cannot be faulted, nor can MGM's sumptuous production
values. Still, the 1951 Show Boat leaves one a bit cold. Perhaps it was the removal of the racial themes that gave the
original so much substance (as black stevedore Joe, William Warfield exists only to sing a toned-down version Ol' Man
River while Joe's wife Queenie is virtually written out of the proceedings). Also, MGM reneged on its original decision
to cast Lena Horne as Julie; the role was recast with Ava Gardner and rewritten with an excess of gooey sentiment). Or
perhaps it was the production's factory-like slickness; typical of the film's smoothing out of the original property's
rough edges was the casting of Marge and Gower Champion, who are just too darn good to be convincing as the doggedly
mediocre entertainers Frank and Ellie. Even so, Show Boat does have Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson at their peak, not
to mention the peerless Joe E. Brown as Captain Andy. And the film was a financial success, enabling MGM to bankroll
such future musical triumphs as Singin' in the Rain and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
