In this special double feature, we will be showing two films from the 1930s.
“Towed in a Hole” (1932) starring Laurel and Hardy follows the shenanigans of successful fishmongers Stan and Ollie as they try their hand at becoming fishermen, but they soon learn making a boat seaworthy isn’t as easy a task as they think. (20 min runtime)
“Tugboat Annie: (1933) features Marie Dressler as Annie, a skipper on the tug Narcissus. Annie steers through the Pacific Northwest waters and through troubles with her hard-working, adoring son Alec (Robert Young) and her hapless, boozing husband Terry (Wallace Beery). There are plenty of laughs, but also lots of familial strife, until life-threatening danger at sea brings out the best in Terry… and puts everyone’s priorities in order. (86 min runtime)
