In case you don’t remember, here was Film Tugs 10 as well as Spring Giddiness 4, as background. Last night I used a streaming site to finally see this movie, the one I caught being filmed in the image below back in April 2022. The camera crew had set up on the bow of the white party boat following the tugboat. Here’s a teaser: what’s being filmed in the photo below may very well be the climax, which involves a tugboat and the delightfully quirky crew aiding and abetting a young couple eloping in a honey of a romance. That’s all I’ll say.
Sunny’s Bar also figured in the movie. I took the photo below back in May 2010, and Sunny’s Willys, which appears briefly in the movie, was still parked there last time I walked Red Hook.
Kudos to the perfect oddball cast, notably Peter Dinklage. I had to look this up, but the director has a famous father, last name Miller. I’ll let you learn it from the link.
Because I know the tugboat, and the tugboat played a significant role in the movei–Pelham aka Katrina pulled the plot forward–I watched the credits all the way to the end.
In the credits was the name Dorothy Julian, owner of the tugboat.
Dorothy died very recently. Condolences to Dorothy’s family and friends. RIP, Dorothy. I met you very briefly more than a decade ago, but your presence on the sixth boro will live on.
