''Min and Bill'' is a 1930 American Pre-Code comedy-drama film starring Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery and based on Lorna Moon's novel ''Dark Star'', adapted by Frances Marion and Marion Jackson. The movie tells the story of dockside innkeeper Min's tribulations as she tries to protect the innocence of her adopted daughter Nancy, all while loving and fighting with 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 for her performance in this film. This film was such a runaway hit that it and its near-sequel ''Tugboat Annie'', which reteamed Dressler and Beery in similar roles, boosted both to superstar status. Dressler topped Quigley Publications' annual Top Ten Money Making Stars Poll of movie exhibitors in 1933, and the two pairings with Dressler were primarily responsible for Beery becoming MGM's highest paid actor in the early 1930s, before Clark Gable took over that crown; Beery had a clause in his 1932 contract that he be paid a dollar per year more than any other actor on the lot. ==Cast== *Marie Dressler as Min Divot *Wallace Beery as Bill *Dorothy Jordan as Nancy Smith *Marjorie Rambeau as Bella Pringle *Donald Dillaway as Dick Cameron *DeWitt Jennings as Mr Groot *Russell Hopton as Alec Johnson *Frank McGlynn, Sr. as Mr Southard 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Min and Bill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
