OSCAR WINNER:
Best Actress - Marie Dressler
Pugnacious Min (Marie Dressler) has three passions in life: running her seedy harbor hotel, raising a girl abandoned from infancy, and bickering with good-natured wharf rat Bill (Wallace Beery).
Suddenly the girl’s happiness is threatened by her drunken mother’s reappearance and Min’s world is turned upside-down.
1930's Min and Bill earned Dressler the "Best Actress" Academy Award and launched her reign as filmdom’s #1 box-office draw until her death four years later.
