When my 15-year-old daughter asked me, yesterday morning, what I knew about the musical Showboat, I *knew* she was mine. Not that I had ever doubted it before that moment, of course. Its just that she obviously also carries the musical theater gene so dominant in my makeup! (I lay no claim to the horror film gene she carries; that one must have come from her mother!!). But it also reminded me that I hadnt seen that classic film in decades. I couldnt find it streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Nor did the library have it. YouTube, my daughter said. And she was right. So thats what Im watching tonight. If you also want to (re)connect with a gem whose origins date back nearly a century, to the original Edna Ferber novel, heres the link... youtu.be/nULpWtBCWSE P.S. Its an opportunity to see Ava Gardner, Agnes Moorehead, Marge and Gower Champion and many more, and to experience such classics as Ol Man River, Cant Help Lovin That Man of Mine and Make Believe from Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II.
