sfuentes Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I saw it a few weeks ago, it's an old film, in black and white, and it had a character named Steamboat Bill. Anyone know the movie I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I did a search for "Steamboat Bill" on imdb.com and came up with nothing. I then did a search for just "Steamboat" and came up with a bunch of choices. Click on the link below and see if any on then rings a bell. http://www.imdb.com/Find?select=Characters...19&Go.y=8&Go=Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfuentes Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Strange. None of those are what I'm looking for. The movie is about this boat owner on the Mississipi River who is, well, almost a bum. He is now met with a challenge with someone else's boats. Each are a ferry, traveling down the Mississipi River. At the same time, Steamboat Bill's son is coming to town... I'll tell more about it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfuentes Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Anyway, leaving off from there, Steamboat Bill finds his son, who he didn't expect at all to be like. Short and fragile, unlike his father. They decide to get him new clothes, and the son meets a girl, who happens to be the daughter of the other guy's ferry business. Fast forward, a very strong wind hits, and houses are being flown everywhere. The son saves his dad, the girl, and the owner of the other boat. I think it was called 'The Triple Rescue'. It's a silent film. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
