Excellent performances, wonderful music, quite funny in places, and overall well produced. The ending, however, I did not like, but that's just me.

I liked listening to Howard Keel but I didn't quite get how Kathryn Grayson could so easily forgive him abandoning her for four (to six) years; he only came back after seeing that he had a child (!) Ava is gorgeous in the beginning and the dancers are really cool too.

Blah. The lower end of the classic musical totem pole.

What an elegant musical with lovely scenery and great characters! I recognized many of the showtunes as I watched this classic musical - did not realize that so many of the songs were from this production. I did enjoy the Ava Gardner character ("Julie") very much ... what interesting plot twists involving her along the way ... Magnolia was brilliantly played by Kathryn Grayson ... it was nice to see Agnes Mooreheada ("Endora" from the TV series "Bewitched") as her Mom ... the only thing that distracted me at times was a few of the "voices" which at times bordered "opera" ... but all in all, definitely worth a viewing if only for nostalgic daydreams ... Favorite scene: I loved the scene where Julie realizes that Magnolia is auditioning for a singing job and takes a big drink to calm her nerves.

It's the late 19th Century, a wide variety of entertainers are on a riverboat, and these people are going to put on some kind of show. I was surprised to find that the bulk of the story involved the relationship between gambler Howard Keel and songstress Kathryn Grayson. The bi-racial storyline of Ava Gardner is merely a second act footnote. I have the same problem with Show Boat as I have with many stage to screen musical adaptations. Mostly entertaining? Sure. But I always get the feeling that I'm watching a rote rehash of a beloved stage production that rarely manages to be uniquely cinematic. I did find the ending poignant though.
