As many of you know my love for classic film is only rivaled by my love of film history and memorabilia. I was recently looking over some aerial views of the former MGM studio back lots, when I noticed a familiar riverboat prop. The riverboat was the Cotton Blossom from MGM's 1951 production of Show Boat starring Ava Gardner, Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel.
