Spectacular MGM rendition of the beloved Hammerstein-Kern tale of show folk and steamboats along the old Mississippi. On board the show boat Cotton Blossom, an interracial couple (Ava Gardner, Robert Sterling) faces bigotry, and romance blooms for the captain's daughter (Kathryn Grayson) and a riverboat gambler (Howard Keel). Joe E. Brown also stars. Songs include "Where's the Mate for Me?," "Can't Help Lovin' that Man," and "Ol' Man River."
