Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery are great as a married couple who live on a tugboat. It's also their way of making a living. He's always into trouble but she knows how to handle him. They also have a son played by Robert Young. Very enjoyable movie.
The TV series that followed this film inspired me as a little girl---strong female character. Though times have changed in how we look at alcoholism (Annie's husband is an alcoholic), it is a snapshot of culture of the past.
