They all have given us such wonderful things in the past, and there"ll be more in the future to come, I'm convinced !

Summary: Save me please.
Comment: I am fortunate to have both this version on DVD and the 1936 version on a Criterion Laserdisk. I simply do not understand those who believe the 1951 version is better. Just the joy of Paul Robeson and Hattie McDaniel in the key support roles makes the 1936 version a joy to watch over and over again. Friends who know that I own this 1936 gem come over to my house just to see Showboat as it was meant to be seen. Perhaps if the other reviewers had seen both versions, they would agree with me. Until the 1936 version is released on DVD, however, they will just need to "scratch their heads" and wonder what "all the fuss" is about.

Summary: Show Boat
Comment: I bought the Show Boat DVD as a gift for my parents. The plastic case for the DVD was damaged/broken at the top of the case and the plastic wrap was partially torn. The damage didn't appear to occur during shipment as the cardboard shipping box was completely intact and showed no outer damage. So, the item was apparently shipped already containing the damage. Not a big deal as long as the DVD is ok, but since I was buying it for a gift, I wasn't very happy.

Summary: Showboat fan
Comment: Showboat is a classic. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are at the top of their form. The Champions dance better than any other dance duo of their time.
The opening scenes with the happy slaves in the cotton fields and the garish colors of the entertainers deserves being skipped with a click of the scene selection button on the remote control. But after that, the movie is sheer joy.
