In 1949 as a 13 YO I came across a Show Boat record while visiting a favorite aunt. I learned all the Lyrics and to this day can recall most of the lyrics. We are living in a very different era and I am not convinced<br />it is a better era.

I'm glad you stumbled upon my blog and hope you enjoyed the post - and the movie as well!Miss JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13806569764671811043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664177846637781814.post-23165898074309450502014-06-02T19:32:47.829-04:002014-06-02T19:32:47.829-04:00Watching the movie now on TCM and decided to sear...Watching the movie now on TCM and decided to search Kerns' bio and happened across this blog. As I'm reading your comment that Robert Walker never wore Kern's glasses, I look up and there's Walker wearing glasses....and then a few scenes later he is seated in front of a piano wearing them again. Would not have bothered to post this, but the coincidence of the timing forced my hand. Lol.

It's always interesting to watch old movies and see how far off base they are by including things that are so clearly racist, sexist, etc. .... and then even more interesting to find the ones that defy expectations and are way ahead of their time.Miss JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13806569764671811043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664177846637781814.post-75403232684605559262014-05-15T13:31:27.391-04:002014-05-15T13:31:27.391-04:00Great review.

The chance they took was like walking across a high wire, but may have opened some hearts to an ugly reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
