Showboat

I enjoying watching Showboat again.
It stars Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner, and Howard Keel.
I had not seen the movie in a long while.
And of things it had to do with New Year's.
At one point the father goes to see daughter in big city.
It apparently is on New Year's Eve and he gets drunk.
And at the end of the movie it also says "Happy New Year".
But I think that had more to do with romance rekindled.
