Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Show Boat is a 1927 musical by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, based on a 1926 book. It has been filmed in 1929, 1936, and 1951. The 1936 version was directed by James Whale, who is best known for directing Universal Horror films such as Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and Bride of Frankenstein.The story starts with the Cotton Blossom, a showboat with well-known actors arriving in a town in the late 1800s. Magnolia Hawks, the daughter of the showboat's owners, falls for a wandering gambler named Gaylord Ravenal. When the lead actors of the boat are forced to leave due to racial issues at the time (Julie being biracial), Magnolia and Gaylord take over as the leads, and become an instant hit.The musical is possibly most known for Paul Robeson's rendition of "Ol' Man River" in the 1936 version.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Adaptation Dye-Job: Magnolia is said to have black hair in the book, but every stage and film portrayal has her as a blonde. | |

Entitled to Have You: This is what leads to Julie being kicked off the ship—an entitled guy is mad that Julie doesn't want his gifts, so he goes to the sheriff to expose her mixed-race status. | |

Blackface: A whole number centers around Magnolia giving a performance in blackface. Possibly justifiable in that this is The Musical Musical and blackface was indeed quite popular in that era. | |
