This remake of the Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein Broadway musical features Kathryn Grayson in the role of Magnolia, the daughter of the Mississippi riverboat's Captain Andy Hawk (Joe E. Brown). Magnolia takes over the riverboat show's starring role when Julie (Ava Gardner) is forced to leave after local police learn that she is not White but is married to White man Steve (Robert Sterling), and interracial marriages are forbidden. Gambler Gaylord Ravenal (Howard Keel) takes the role of Magnolia's leading man, and they fall in love and marry. But, Gaylord's gambling will prove to be a big problem–until he cleans up his act and returns to Magnolia and their baby daughter. Song standards, such as "Old Man River" (sung beautifully by William Warfield), "Bill," and "Make Believe" make this an enjoyable film.
