Tugboat Annie

Tugboat Annie (1933)

Tugboat, the Narcissus, is owned and captained by Annie Brennan, and among her crew are her alcoholic but good-natured husband, Terry, and her conscientious son, Alec. Annie continually loses business because of Terry's drunken mistakes. Alec wants to quit school to work on the tug full time, but Annie will not sacrifice her son's education. A grown Alec has followed in his mother's footsteps and becomes a mariner, but a more upscale one as the captain of a luxury liner. Alec returns home with his fiancée, Pat - the boss' daughter - with a grand plan to save Annie from the life that drunkard Terry has provided her. But ultimately, it's Annie and Terry that need to be Alec's savior, and by their move show him the meaning of true commitment.

흥미로운 사실

Tugboat Annie is a 1933 American pre-Code comedy-drama film directed by Mervyn LeRoy, written by Norman Reilly Raine and Zelda Sears, and starring Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery as a comically quarrelsome middle-aged couple who operate a tugboat.

Production

The boisterous Tugboat Annie character first appeared in a series of stories in the Saturday Evening Post, written by the author Norman Reilly Raine. They were loosely based on the life of Thea Foss, the founder of a tugboat company in Tacoma, Washington. There is also a theory that her character may have been based on Kate A. Sutton, secretary and dispatcher for the Providence Steamboat Company during the 1920s.

Tugboat Annie features Robert Young and Maureen O'Sullivan as the requisite pair of young lovers.

Annie's tugboat "Narcissus" (real name Wallowa) was owned by Foss Tug and Barge of Tacoma and had been leased to MGM for the film. The owner's son is seen rolling rope during the credits. The tugboat, renamed Arthur Foss in 1934, is the oldest wooden tugboat afloat in the world. It is on display at the Northwest Seaport in Seattle.

Filmed in Seattle, Washington, Tugboat Annie used local residents as extras, including then-mayor John F. Dore.
