Darren McGavin and Burt Reynolds head a superb cast in this thrilling series set aboard a stern-wheeler plying the Mississippi River in the 1840s. McGavin plays Captain Grey Holden, who won the "Enterprise" in a poker game and Reynolds, in his first television series role, plays the boat pilot Ben Frazer. Drawing on stories from real-life travelers on the river, each episode of Riverboat relives events on the "Enterprise," as she travels up and down the Mississippi, America's premier waterway. Actors in recurring roles include Noah Beery (Devil in Skirts), and John Mithcum (The Blowup). Episode guest stars include Dan Duryea (Fort Epitaph), Suzanne Pleshette (The Two Faces Of Grey Holden), Eddie Albert (The Unwilling), Claude Akins (Escape To Memphis) and Debra Paget (The Unwilling).
