Summaries
Waterfront couple raise their son to be a sea captain. He grows up to be rather snotty and
rebels against drunken Beery. Valiant Dressler keeps things moving even as hubby ruins their tugboat business. Dressler
dotes on his son and his snooty girlfriend.

—Ed Lorusso
Secoma, Washington based tugboat, the
Narcissus, is owned and captained by Annie Brennan. Among her crew are her drunkard but good natured husband, Terry, and
her conscientious son, Alec. Annie continually loses business because of Terry's mistakes. In turn, 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 to Secoma with his fiancée, Pat - the boss' daughter - and 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.

—Huggo
Annie the tugboat captain tries

Marie Dressler & Wallace Beery Shine
In Nautical Heart Warmer
Ron Oliver1 October 2000
TUGBOAT ANNIE, the `old sea cow,' pilots her beloved
Narcissus around Puget Sound, constantly on the lookout for the shenanigans of her drunken husband. Their son strives to
become the skipper of a great liner, but his success will imperil his father's life & break his mother's
heart...

Marie Dressler & Wallace Beery are nothing short of wonderful in this funny, touching film. The
roles are a comfortable fit - they wear them like old clothes. With their life-worn faces & rumpled bodies, they
embody a decent commonality which gives their acting the little something extra that pushes it over the top and makes
their performances very special.

Dressler was queen of the box office when she made this film, absolutely
beloved by millions of American movie fans. Almost a force of nature, a cinematic Earth Mother, she was already carrying
the cancer which would kill her the very next year. Beery would go on to other memorable roles, but his teamings with
Dressler would always remain unique.

Robert Young & Maureen O'Sullivan nicely play the young people,
but they are completely overshadowed by the two old pros.

Location settings help the movie's ambiance
terrifically. The film is based on stories written by Norman Reilly Raine and published in the Saturday Evening Post.

Come Aboard the USS
Narcissus
bkoganbing17 May 2011
Tugboat Annie reunited Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler for a second time
after the big hit they made with Min And Bill. Although that first film was more dramatic and Dressler got her Best
Actress Award for Min And Bill, Tugboat Annie still has a lot of laughs and heart in it as Marie Dressler cares for her
husband, child, and business which is running a salvage tug out of Puget Sound.

Marie of course is in the
title role and she skippers the USS Narcissus and works in a man's world. She lives on the tug with her husband and
child Frankie Darro who grows up to be Robert Young. Beery is her shiftless drunken husband, but she's determined
to raise their son to make something of himself.

Flashing forward several years, Robert Young is now captain
of an ocean liner and working for a former rival of Dressler's, Tammany Young who has worked his way up from the
salvage business. Young is engaged to Tammany's daughter Maureen O'Sullivan, but he's not that crazy of
his parents stepping into society, Marie doesn't fit and she knows it, and Beery is just Beery.

Who
periodically goes off on a toot and always lets his family down. However in the end during a crisis on the Narcissus,
Beery does come through. It's why she loves and puts up with him.

MGM put a little money into Tugboat
Annie doing a whole lot of location shooting in Puget Sound. I don't know whether the cast got up there or their
footage was done on the sound stage, but it certainly was blended in nicely with background shots.

In real
life Beery and Dressler hardly got along, then again Wallace Beery got along with very few people in the world. Still
their on screen chemistry is not to be denied in Tugboat Annie which holds up every bit as good for today.

" Tugboat Annie Is Really A
Darling "
PamelaShort13 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers

Marie Dressler gives a fine,
sensitive and very touching performance in this second and last pairing with Wallace Beery. The movie was one of the top
moneymakers of the depression era, and beloved by the public as well as the critics. Based on the Saturday Evening Post
stories about a very capable female tugboat captain and her alcoholic but lovable husband.The plot has the couple's
son ( Robert Young ) ashamed of his drunken father, and Annie trying to make a living and trying to keep up a good
family appearance for the sake of her son. Wallace Beery settles into his role perfectly, but Marie Dressler's
acting is absolutely darling as she is forever exasperated by her drunken husbands embarrassing antics. Wallace Beery
tried teaming with actress Marjorie Main in an attempt to recapture the chemistry he'd had with Dressler, but it
was not a successful pairing. No one could ever compare to the unique Marie Dressler.Tugboat Annie is an enjoyable
example of this beloved actress at her best.

an interesting story
zog-39 November 2001
The only film adaption ever done of the Saturday
Evening Post "Tugboat Annie" stories. interesting depictions of the eating area, and engine room with its old
triple expansion engine. the "Narcissus", was played by the real tugboat "Arthur Foss" which is
preserved as a maritime museum after 101 years of work.

Tugboat Annie was a nice vehicle for Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler
tavm16
March 2016
This is one of the few movies I've seen with Marie Dressler, and the only talkie I've yet seen
of hers. This was her second teaming with Wallace Beery. He's her often-drunk husband who co-captains the sea ship
Narcissus. Robert Young is their now-grown son and Maureen O'Sullivan is his fiancé. There are both some funny
scenes and some more dramatic moments. There's no music score as this was an early talkie so sometimes, one may
feel bored with some of the silences. The film meanders quite a bit though since the running time is less than 90
minutes, it doesn't wear out its welcome by much. Ms. Dressler would die about a year after this movie, but
it's obvious by her performance she's not that easy to forget. So on that note, I recommend Tugboat Annie.

On the Waterfront
wes-connors22 May 2011
Tugboat captain Marie Dressler (as Annie) manages to rear a son and run the family
business, with only spotty help from alcoholic husband Wallace Beery (as Terry Brennan). "Tugboat Annie"
sailed to the top of box office lists, helmed by the tremendous appeal of Ms. Dressler. This is one of her finest and
most fondly remembered performances. Dressler would be good anyway, but gets terrific help from Mr. Berry. He and
Dressler possess the chemistry and craft to pull off the slightly weak and episodic story.

The weakness is in
the bland relationship essayed by Robert Young (as Alexander "Alec" Brennan) and pretty Maureen
O'Sullivan (as Patricia "Pat" Severn). Frankie Darro (as young Alec) is fine, studying algebra and
history with Dressler in the early scenes, but you wonder how Dressler plus Berry (or anyone) could have netted Mr.
Young. The relationship between Dressler and Berry is the story's strength, with the co-stars putting comic pathos
in the classic "love triangle" involving wife, husband and alcohol.

sure it's campy---is that so bad?!
MartinHafer2
March 2006
This film is awfully campy and is a pretty insignificant film. However, this isn't really that bad
a thing, as the acting and writing make this movie so much fun. I loved Marie Dressler's wonderful performance in
the title role--it was funny and incredibly entertaining. And, combining her with Wallace Beery was a brilliant
idea--they worked well together. The only odd thing about this movie was casting Robert Young as their grown son. I
can't imagine WHAT a child of this ugly union would look like, but I would imagine it would look more like Mike
Mizurki or Victor McLaglen! A great example of wonderful old-fashioned fun from MGM.

Stand By Your Man
GManfred1 February 2014
I
thought Marie Dressler was great and died too soon, and that's the main reason for my rating on "Tugboat
Annie". She carries the picture and was better than she was in "Min and Bill", the one she won an AA for
three years before. The narrative here is more a series of vignettes on the life of a tugboat skipper, strung together
and concerning the same group of people. The plot seems disjointed and each episode is an end in itself.

What
is really annoying is the presence, or rather the character played by Wallace Beery. He was adept at playing a big slob
but he overdoes it in 'Tugboat Annie", so much so that you wish he would get washed overboard or that she
would leave him ashore, preferably on foreign soil. There is no way anyone could put up with incompetence and
irresponsibility of this kind. He plays an unabashed drunk who nearly ruins her financially, and the ending barely
justifies his behavior to that point.

Robert Young and Maureen O'Sullivan are along for appearances but
with little to do. But it is a chance to see one of the best comediennes ever to grace the Silver Screen and Hollywood
was poorer for it when she passed on.

An overlooked gem from M-G-M!
JohnHowardReid22 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers

Associate producer: Harry Rapf. Producer: Irving Thalberg. 

Copyright 25 July 1933 by
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corp. U.S. release: 12 August 1933. New York opening at the Capitol: 11 August 1933. U.K. release: 3
February 1934. 87 minutes. 

SYNOPSIS: Down-and-out tugboat skipper is determined that her young son will make
the grade as captain of an ocean liner.

NOTES: With a domestic rentals gross of $1.5 million, "Tugboat
Annie" came in at 9th place (in which it tied with Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer stablemates Dancing Lady and Queen
Christina) as one of the most popular movies of 1933.

A sequel "Tugboat Annie Sails Again" was
released in 1940. A 39- episode half-hour TV series The Adventures of Tugboat Annie with Minerva Urecal hit the airwaves
in 1957.

COMMENT: A very entertaining picture, at turns movingly sentimental (in a shamelessly tough sort of
way), funny, sad, nostalgic and highly dramatic; splendidly produced on a no-holds-barred budget on real locations
enhanced by absolutely thrilling special effects; and most entrancingly acted by all concerned, particularly Beery,
Dressler, Young and the lovely, charming Maureen O'Sullivan. 

Even Frankie Darro is tolerable
(admittedly his footage is brief). 

LeRoy's direction is a model of unobtrusive yet highly effective
direction. When you let strong actors loose with a strong script and indulgent production
values, you don't need assertively flashy, self-conscious direction. True, there are some low camera angles, but
they are dramatically apposite points-of-view from one of the characters on screen. 

Toland's
attractively gray-toned, atmospheric photography also conjures up exactly the right mood for each scene. In fact,
"Tugboat Annie" doesn't look the least bit like an M-G-M picture at all. The cramped yet extensive sets,
dingily realistic (not aggressively "modern" with lots of space and curved white lines) are the work of
Merrill Pye, working alone without the usual supervision of Cedric Gibbons. 

When executive producer Thalberg
died, M-G-M virtually abandoned this style of "A"-budget film-making to concentrate on "the stuff that
dreams are made of."

The ending is not for the faint hearted.
GJValent14 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers

I saw this some years ago as a 'late night' flick. It's pretty standard 1930s gritty/humor stuff. Annie
Brennan, (Marie Dressler), and husband Terry, (Wallace Beery), are tugboat runners in Puget Sound. They have a son,
Alec,(Robert Young), who's now the skipper of a fancy ocean liner. They're proud of him, but, they stay out of
his way, and his new life and sweetie, Pat,(Maureen, 'Jane', O'Sullivan). After all, they're only
tugboat people. One night, during a terrible storm, they have the only tug available to save his ship. The Narcissus has
always had problems, but, to accomplish their mission, Wallace has to enter the boiler, while it's fully stoked and
fired, to patch some leaking water/steam tubes. Hard to watch for anyone, Marie has to. His pain, and her concern and
horror, showcase what superb actors both were. For a prequel with both lead actors playing similar characters, check out
Min and Bill.
