Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Min and Bill is a 1930 film starring Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery, directed by George W. Hill.Min is a tough old lady who keeps an inn by the docks. Her friend Bill is a commercial fisherman who often stays at Min's boarding house when he's in port. Min is guardian to a teenaged girl, Nancy, who was left at the boarding house by her horrible alcoholic mother Bella when Nancy was only six months old. Now Nancy is growing up, and Min must make some hard choices about whether or not to keep her living in a boarding house by the docks, surrounded by drunken sailors and other disreputable characters. The situation is further complicated by the return of Bella after an absence of many years.Min and Bill was a massive success for MGM. Dressler, who was sixty years old and had made her film debut back in 1914 but had mostly performed on the stage, won the Academy Award for Best Actress and enjoyed an unlikely stardom in a series of hits before cancer killed her in 1934. Beery became the highest-paid actor at MGM after the success of Min and Bill and was an A-lister for the rest of The '30s.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

| Min and Bill / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: A rage-filled Bella says in no uncertain terms that she's going to get money from Nancy and her new rich husband, or she'll destroy the marriage. Min then proceeds to shoot her. Bill begs her to get on his boat so he can take her to Mexico, but she lingers to watch the wedding yacht leave with Nancy aboard. The cops show up to arrest Min for murder, and she leaves with a smile on her face. | |

| Min and Bill / int_8afadb7e | comment |
Department of Child Disservices: They show up and are skeptical of an inn/saloon as a place to raise a teenaged girl, especially since Nancy isn't even going to school. Min is scared that they'll take Nancy away, but eventually decides that they're right and sends Nancy away herself. | |
