Show Boat (1936)

Solid but not the 1950 version

[6/10 · 30 December 2019]

I have never understood why IMD has this 1936 version rated higher than the 1951 version. Although a solid film with Irene Dunn, it's a pale comparison to MGM's 1951 version with Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner, Howard Keel and, Marge and Gower Champion.
