Show Boat picture

Factual error: Actual showboats were very rarely self-propelled. The engine and boilers needed to propel the vessel would have taken up the space needed for the stage, backstage area, and auditorium. As a result, they had to be towed everywhere by a towboat.

Factual error: Sargent Nevins (Arthur Kennedy) is shown playing a pinball machine in the military rec room. When the camera turns to the play field of the machine, it is clear that this machine has flippers, and flipper buttons are visible on the side of the body. The movie takes place in 1943, but flippers didn't appear on pinball machines until 1947. (First machine to have flippers was Gottlieb's 'Humpty Dumpty.'. (00:37:30)
