Tugboat Annie Sails Again (Warner) revives the hardheaded, soft-hearted old salt who, in her Satevepost exploits, bulldozes the boys around Tacoma's water front. Seasoned, frog-voiced Marjorie Rambeau puts on Marie Dressler's costume; villainized, kinky-haired Alan Hale plays the Wallace Beery part of Bullwinkle, Annie's rival.

Says Mule Skinner Beery describing his sire: "He had twelve other sons besides me. I was always the youngest and puniest. Gosh, he was a fine old feller! Never raised a hand to none of us boys-'cept in self-defense." If I Had My Way (Universal) will thrill countless admirers of Singer Bing Crosby by making him the foster father of Songstress Gloria Jean, Universal...
