Quiz
Director George Sidney had to leave for a few days because of illness, so uncredited associate producer Roger Edens directed the fog-enshrouded "departure" sequence, including William Warfield's performance of "Ol' Man River." That scene has been praised even by critics who hate this version of "Show Boat."

Blooper
In the opening scenes with the calliope player, the keyboard is a contemporary 1950's black console, whereas a period console would have been made of wood, and perhaps elaborately carved and detailed.

Citazioni
Cap'n Andy Hawks: It's Saturday night again!
[He slaps Parthy affectionately on her rear end]
Parthy: Oh! It's Wednesday night and don't you strike me!
Cap'n Andy Hawks: It's Saturday night forever!
Parthy: Yes, and Fourth of July... and Christmas... and
[imitating Cap'n Andy when he celebrates New Year's Eve]
Parthy: Hap - - -py New Year!

Curiosità sui crediti
Because some of the lyrics to the song "Cotton Blossom" have been altered by uncredited staff writers in this version of "Show Boat", Oscar Hammerstein II is never actually mentioned as having written the lyrics to the songs, although P.G. Wodehouse IS listed as having written the lyrics to "Bill". (This is only partially correct; only about half of Wodehouse's 1917 lyric to "Bill" was used. The rest of the lyric is by Hammerstein.)

Versioni alternative
Early preview showings of this film featured Ava Gardner's own singing voice, before the film was officially released with Ava overdubbed by Annette Warren.

Take it for what it is..

Please people! Try not to over-analyze, like so many others have done in the other comments about this fabulous Techno-color classic from the early 1950's Hollywood. It isn't supposed to be a carbon-copy remake of the older 1936 version nor is it supposed to be making any sort of PC statements about race! Times changed and so did the attitudes and views of most americans, especially after WWII. Take it for what it is! A great musical wrapped around a love story. Beautiful lead actress, strong male lead and awesome broadway style tunes sung by great voices, especially William Warfield's "Old man River"!
