Min and Bill (1930) is a film based on Lorna Moon's novel Dark Star, adapted by Frances Marion and Marion Jackson.
It tells the story of a dockside innkeeper's (Min) tribulations as she tries to protect the innocence of her adopted daughter (Nancy), all while loving and fighting with a boozy fisherman (Bill) who resides at the inn. Min and Bill stars Marie Dressler (Min), Wallace Beery (Bill), Dorothy Jordan (Nancy), and Marjorie Rambeau (Bella, Nancy's ill-reputed mother), and was directed by George W. Hill. Dressler won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1931. This film was such a runaway smash hit that it's primarily responsible for Beery becoming MGM's highest paid actor within a couple of years; Dressler and Beery were re-teamed in 1933's Tugboat Annie.
