It is based on Edna Ferber 's best-selling 1926 novel of the same name. The musical follows the lives of the performers, stagehands and dock workers on the Cotton Blossom, a Mississippi River show boat, over 40 years from 1887 to 1927. Its themes include racial prejudice and tragic, enduring love.
Magnolia becomes pregnant, but on the night that her baby daughter Kim is born, a violent storm breaks out, and Captain Andy falls overboard and drowns. Now faced with Parthy running the boat, Magnolia and Ravenal decide to leave and go to Chicago with Kim.
Overview. This film sticks very closely to the Edna Ferber novel, rather than the musical based on the novel. 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.
Magnolia's father, Captain Andy, is swept overboard in a storm, and Magnolia and Gaylord, harassed by Magnolia's strict, overbearing mother, sell their interest in the showboat to the widow and go to Chicago.
