A musical play in two acts by Hammerstein and Kern. (1927).
A powerful love story spanning the generations set on the Mississippi in the 1880's. This classic musical touches on most aspects of human behaviour: love, hate, racism, loyalty and addiction. The song "Ol' Man River" sets the moral of the story with the occasional light relief thrown in.
