"Tugboat Annie" is a 1933 movie starring Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery as a comically quarrelsome middle-aged couple who operate a tugboat. Dressler and Beery were MGM's most popular screen team at that time, having recently made "Min and Bill" (1930) together, for which Dressler had won an Oscar.

The boisterous "Tugboat Annie" character first appeared in a series of stories in the "Saturday Evening Post" written by the author Norman Reilly Raine which were based on the life of Thea Foss of Tacoma, Washington.

"Tugboat Annie" also features Robert Young and Maureen O'Sullivan as the requisite pair of young lovers. The movie was written by Norman Reilly Raine and Zelda Sears, and directed by Mervyn LeRoy.
