1h 25m
Directed by Mervyn LeRoy • 1933 • United States
Starring Marie Dressler, Wallace Beery, Robert Young
Though not as well remembered today as her more glamorous MGM colleagues like Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford, salt-of-the-earth, sixty-five-year-old Marie Dressler was the number-one box office star in Hollywood when this heartwarming, hugely successful comedic drama was released. Adapted from a series of popular stories published in the “Saturday Evening Post,” TUGBOAT ANNIE features Dressler and her frequent costar Wallace Beery as a pair of married tugboat captains whose humorous bickering provides much amusement as they try to bring two young lovers (Robert Young and Maureen O’Sullivan) together.
