REVIEW: A fascinating and colourful screen biography of Jerome Kern (Robert Walker). It starts with the opening night of his smash hit ‘Showboat’ and flashes back to his beginnings as an almost penniless songwriter. The film follows his friendship with James I. Hessler and journeys to England where the best songwriters are reputed to be, and where he finds his early successes and the future Mrs Kern (Dorothy Patrick). After some difficult times in the USA he collaborates with Oscar Hammserstein 11, the result being the classic adaptation of Edna Ferber’s ‘Showboat’. A host of Hollywood’s finest talent perform Kern’s songs including ‘Till The Clouds Roll By”. The picture’s grand finale features Frank Sinatra singing ‘Old Man River’. A truly huge and lavish musical feast.
