Spanning the
years from 1880 to 1927, this lyrical masterpiece concerns the lives,
loves and heartbreaks of three generations of show folk on the
Mississippi, in Chicago and on Broadway (and their life-long friends).
The primary plot follows Magnolia, the naive daughter of the show boat
captain, as she marries a gambler and moves with him to Chicago. His
gambling continues as his debts compound, and soon he deserts her and
their young daughter. A subplot concerns the potential arrest of
Magnolia's selfless best friend on charges of miscegenation when it's
discovered that she is mulatto, and her subsequent downward spiral into
despair. The passing of time reunites Magnolia and her now-grown
daughter with her family on the show boat as well as with her husband,
who eventually returns offering a hopeful second chance at familial
fulfillment. |
