* StylisticSuck: In the 1936 film, a ShowWithinAShow play is filled with missed cues, forgotten lines and awkward sounds effects. ''Then'' it goes horribly wrong when a guy in the audience threatens the on-stage villain with a gun. The actor panics and runs off, soon followed by the other actors. Then Andy jumps on stage and saves the show by excitedly telling the audience what was ''supposed'' to happen, acting out four parts simultaneously and beating himself up in an imaginary fight scene. It's utterly ridiculous, but at the same time he's got so much dedication to the show that audience ends up applauding him.

''Show Boat'' is a 1927 [[TheMusical musical]] by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, based on a 1926 book. It has been filmed in 1929, 1936, and 1951. The 1936 version was directed by Creator/JamesWhale, who is best known for directing Universal Horror films such as ''[[{{Film/Frankenstein1931}} Frankenstein]]'', ''[[Film/TheInvisibleMan1933 The Invisible Man]]'', and ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein''.
The story starts with the ''Cotton Blossom'', a showboat with well-known actors arriving in a town in the late 1800s. Magnolia Hawks, the daughter of the showboat's owners, falls for a wandering gambler named [[HaveAGayOldTime Gaylord]] Ravenal. When the lead actors of the boat are forced to leave due to racial issues at the time (Julie being biracial), Magnolia and Gaylord take over as the leads, and become an instant hit.

* CulturallySensitiveAdaptation: The first sung lines of the 1927 musical contain prominent N-words, though they're being sung by a chorus of black singers working "while de white folks play." Subsequent productions and adaptations have replaced the word with "darkies" (the 1936 Creator/{{Universal}} film), "colored folks" (the 1946 Broadway revival) or just "here we all," eschewing the outdated language altogether in the latter case. The 1951 Creator/{{MGM}} film and 1966 Lincoln Center production just cut the first lines altogether.

* ParentsAsPeople: Gaylord abandons his wife and child, yes, but not out of malice, but out of guilt and shame. As his letter explains to Magnolia, the massive amount of debt that he has accumulated is his burden and not theirs, and therefore they should return to the "Cotton Blossom" and Nola's parents, while he deals with the repercussions of his careless ways. Before leaving, he visits Kim at the convent and assures her that no matter what, she should never once doubt that he will always love his daughter more than anything. Kim holds onto this belief as the final scene, she shows no ressentent towards Gay, and like her mother, happily welcomes him back into their family.
