Swanee River follows 19th‑century songwriter Stephen Foster, a Pittsburgh native who falls in love with the South, marries a Southern woman, and is accused of Confederate sympathies when the Civil War erupts. Typical of 20th Century Fox biopics of its era, the film generally favors dramatic storytelling over historical accuracy.
