Wonderful to see it without brazilian subtitles! Thatnk you LaMisere!

The Wonderful Hattie McDaniel such a great character and sorely under used in the vast majority of the films she appeared in.

@Dazman1313 she was a wonderful lady as well I would have liked to have met her

I've no idea how good a quality it is, but there is someone based in the UK who has this film for sale on a DIY DVD, hence it's not official, but I have purchased a fair amount of these from sellers on Ebay and have been largely very happy with my purchases.

Thanks for sharing this rare Show Boat 1936.

Indeed it looks unavailable on DVD.

Only the MGM version of 1951 with Ava Gardner, a little more commercial.

wow image all these people dont live anymore....

[chomsky88]

james whale directed? didn't he do Bride of Frankenstein? No wonder I like this version better than the ossified MGM version in 1951.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! <3

i wish i could find this in stores!!!!! TCM should really release it!

[OneKewpie]

Thank you for all this information! I watched the 1951 version of Show Boat on TCM last night and it was wonderful, the music, the actors, the old paddle wheel boat, the storyline. Sad story but a happy ending. Thank you for posting. OneKewpie

Charles Winninger didn't create the role of Capt. Andy. Edna Ferber, Oscar Hammerstein and Jerome Kern did. he originated it. He was also Fred's Vaudeville pal on I love Lucy. Eddie Rochester Anderson has the 1st line in this movie. There was also a brief scene in this taken from the '29 movie.

@0203Patrickb I didn't realise that was Eddie Anderson! Amazing!

[0203Patrickb]

@madamerotten YEs it is. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all.

Why are some of the videos showing up in a much paler tone, while others show up just as always? (I don't mean when you watch them, I mean when you see the stills next to the name of each video?

The 40's remake isn't bad but this version is FAR superior. For one thing, this version tells the entire story while the 40's version ends a bit abruptly.

[al1936ful]

@33Keith33 There wasn't a'40's remake. The remake was released in 1951.

[33Keith33]

@al1936ful You're right. My mistake.

[SuperFelixkrull]

so beautiful!!!

[Anchovie15]

Is the Captain the same man who played the father in State Fair?

[dennykdoe]

@Anchovie15 Yes. He also created the role on Broadway.

[JB1912JB]

@Anchovie15

Yes, that's Charles Winninger.

Why does Queenie laugh like a nutcase?
