Show Boat (1929)
This film sticks very closely to the Edna Ferber novel, rather than the musical on which the novel is based. There are only two major changes from Ferber's book : *Julie in this version is a white woman, not a racially mixed one; therefore she and her husband are not unlawfully married. * Ravenal returns at the end, instead of dying as in the novelShow Boat featuring Laura La Plante and Joseph Schildkraut is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want to see list for updates.
