Bringing to life the adventurous world of Mississippi show boats,
the grittiness of turn-of-the-century Chicago, and the majesty of
1920s Broadway, Pulitzer Prize winner Edna Ferber's 'Show Boat' is
a classic. Magnolia Hawks spends her childhood aboard the 'Cotton
Blossom' growing up amid simmering racial tension and struggling to
survive life on the Mississippi. When she falls in love with the
dashing Gaylord Ravenal and moves with him to Chicago, the joy of
giving birth to their daughter, Kim, is offset by Gaylord's
gambling addiction and distrustful ways.
