Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe tugboat used as the "Narcissus" in the film was then named the "Wallowa." It was leased to the filmmakers in Seattle by the Foss Launch & Tug Co. After the movie was filmed, the tugboat was refitted with a new engine and renamed the "Arthur Foss," after Thea Foss's son, who was then president of the Foss Co. Today, the tugboat "Arthur Foss" is owned by the Northwest Seaport Maritime Heritage Center. It is docked on Lake Union in Seattle, next to the Museum of History and Industry, and is open for tours on weekends. The "Arthur Foss" is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The tugboat can also be seen in the MGM short Forbidden Passage (1941), albeit with the picture flipped to help disguise the name on the bow.
- Quotes
Alexander 'Alec' Brennan: Mother! Are you all right? Did he strike you?
Annie Brennan: No! Your father has never struck me. Except in self-defense.

Featured review
loving Marie Dressler
Annie Brennan (Marie Dressler) is a salty tugboat captain and Terry (Wallace Beery) is her hard-drinking first-mate husband. They support their son Alec (Robert Young) who rises to be the captain of a big ocean liner. Alec is dating Pat (Maureen O'Sullivan), the bosses' daughter. He wants his mother to retire. He gets his father a good job, but the drinking quickly loses the job. He tells Annie to leave Terry.
I am loving Marie Dressler. Wallace Beery is both the loveable lout and a problematic drunk. They make for quite a romance. There is the love and the difficulties. It's a marriage. It's not all roses and wine. The story has a bit of an expected melodramatic ending. It's obvious early on that Terry would come to the rescue for the ending. More than anything, I just love Dressler.
