Down At Maggie Macomber's

Synopsis:
set in a Massachusetts fishing town during Prohibition. Maggie Macomber, a Liverpool emigrant, runs a boarding house, bootlegs booze and bribes cops. When her orphaned granddaughter falls in love with an Irish patrolman, Maggie uses all the wiles and guile of a self-supporting widow to see that the romance does not blossom into marriage. Several subplots amplify the action and make Maggie first of all an ensemble, character piece.
