Hi! Even though this is going up in May, we're already moving into June's TNTs, kicking things off with the 1936 musical Show Boat.
Wikipedia
This edition of Show Boat (an update to the 1929 part-talkie film of the same name) stars Irene Dunne and Allan Jones as Magnolia Hawks and Gaylord Ravenal, the two characters at the forefront of the 40 years that elapse throughout the movie. After the two meet and fall in love on Magnolia's family's show boat, they go through a number of ups and downs. A parallel story involving the head actress on the show boat, Julie LaVerne (Helen Morgan), unfolds in Show Boat as her life takes her in a different direction than Magnolia's. Here's a trailer:
Show Boat will be on this Thursday at our regular TNT time of 8pm EST. I couldn't find this film anywhere online, but the 1951 remake is available on YouTube for $2.99. I hope you have an awesome week and I'll see you soon!
