Swanee River

The Story of Stephen C. Foster - The Great American Troubadour

A 1940 American biopic, Swanee River centers on Stephen Foster, a songwriter from Pittsburgh. He becomes enamored with the South, marries a Southern girl, and later is accused of sympathizing with the South when the Civil War breaks out. Like other 20th Century Fox biopics of the era, the film takes liberties with historical facts.
