Product Description

Steamboat Round The Bend (1935)

Director:

 John Ford

Writers:

 Dudley Nichols (screen play), Lamar Trotti (screen play)

Stars:

 Will Rogers, Anne Shirley, Irvin S. Cobb 
 
Two of America's most distinguished humorists, Oklahoma's Will Rogers and Kentucky's Irvin S. Cobb, costar in Steamboat Round the Bend. Cobb isn't much of an actor, so it is Rogers who carries the comic weight of this fast-paced slice of Americana. Will uncharacteristically sticks to the script for most of the proceedings as the proprietor of a combination travelling waxworks and medicine show. The plot resolution hinges on a climactic steamboat race, in which Rogers' paddlewheeler is fed bit by bit into its own furnace when the fuel supply runs out. Steamboat Round the Bendwas released posthumously after Rogers' sudden death, at which point Fox Studios tried unsuccessfully to create a "new" Will Rogers--in the form of his old friend and costar Irvin S. Cobb.

  1. Excellent piece of history onscreen 4 Star Review

    Posted by on Sep 24th 2022

    While the film itself is fun, one has to ignore
    the racism or it could be ruined. Will Rogers is always a solid screen presence and much of the plot is charming, but the real attraction is the amazing footage of the still functioning paddle wheel steamboats racing on the Mississippi, a sight long gone.
