Customer Reviews

Has some merit.

The story is structured around love found, love lost, and love found again. What fills the structure is a bevy of well-known tunes; most of the tunes aged well, but others are just fillers. Maybe I am not the best person to review this, as I found it rather boring. However, the play is a classic based on the stage musical, so it is a must-watch. If you have limited time, you will need to watch the 1936 version with Paul Robeson as Joe; this is the classic “Ol' Man River Ol' Man River” (Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein II). Once the 1936 version is seen, it is hard to compare with the 1951 William Warfield version. But I digress. This version has several major actors that you will want to see, such as Howard Keel and Ava Gardner, to name a couple. Ava may get her face on the cover, but she is just supporting the story that circles the main character, Magnolia Hawks, played by Kathryn Grayson. You may want to get out your hanky.
