A B O U T

Movie: Released in 1987, "Overboard" was a romantic comedy starring Kurt Russel, Goldie Hawn and Roddy Mcdowall, directed by Gary Marshall. It was a modest box office hit and is often re-run on cable.

Plot:

Dean Proffitt (Kurt Russell) is a struggling widowed carpenter in the tiny Oregon town of Elk Cove. After being hired by a very snotty and spoiled millionairess, Joanna Stayton (Goldie Hawn) to remodel a closet on her yacht, the two get into an argument about what type of wood the closet should be built with; she is unhappy with his work and refuses to pay him. Dean refuses to leave and is knocked overboard by Joanna. After returning home that day, he is criticized by Adele Burbridge (Doris Hess), the principal at the Elk Cove School, for leaving his children home without adult supervision. Mrs. Burbridge says that his twins, Greg and Charlie, strung her up with gasoline soaked toilet paper and tried to set it aflame. She states that his children are monsters and then tells him that if he does not hire a babysitter, she will notify the authorities.

Later that night, Joanna realizes she left her wedding ring on deck. She goes to find it and is tossed overboard from the pitching yacht, which continues on without anyone hearing her cry for help. She is later found by the Elk Cove garbage scow with amnesia, with no idea who she is. She is sent to the Elk Cove hospital, throws a temper tantrum, and is placed in the psychiatric ward. Dean hears of this on the news and visits the hospital, identifying her as his wife Annie. To prove he is truly her husband, he cites the strawberry-shaped birthmark on her buttocks, which he spied on the yacht when she was wearing a high-cut swimming suit.

Joanna, now known as Annie, is shocked at how rundown Dean's household is. Dean uses her amnesia to his advantage, telling her that she is his wife and mother of four sons: Travis, fraternal twins Greg and Charlie, and Joey. With difficulty at first, Annie eventually adjusts to the rambunctious, carefree lifestyle of Dean and his boys. After asserting herself and ordering a full house cleanup, she begins to care for her new family, encouraging Greg's penchent for inventions, inspiring Travis to find a girlfriend and assisting Joey with his reading problem. She ends up defending Dean and the boys when Adele Burbridge castigates them as wild and irresponsible.

Annie assists Dean with plans for a miniature golf course, which comes off as a rousing success; to celebrate, they go to the town nightclub, where Dean tells her a local legend about the lovers Katerina and Arturo and how they are the myth of the ocean waves. Dean and Annie spend the night together and the next day, Dean and the boys surprise Annie with a gift appropriate to her new housewife and mother status: a new washing machine.

After three months of living with Dean and the boys, Joanna's wayward husband comes to retrieve her (only after being threatened by his mother-in-law; he had been very happily partying on the yacht with a strip outfit called "Toufoutti Kline"). When she sees him, she regains her memory. Angry with Dean for lying to her, she leaves with her husband despite the boys' pleas for her to stay. Back on the yacht, Joanna's family is concerned about her new "low-class" behaviors, such as a newfound appreciation for beer. Joanna realizes that at heart she's not borgeouis and she loves Dean and orders her husband to turn the yacht around back towards Elk Cove.

Meanwhile, miserable without Annie, Dean and the boys have persuaded a friend in the United States Coast Guard to take a boat out after Joanna. When it is instructed to divert for salmon poachers, both Joanna and Dean jump overboard from their respective crafts, shouting "Katerina!" and "Arturo!" They meet at sea, and are picked up by the Coast Guard vessel. Grant, incensed by Joanna leaving him, actually tries to shoot at her with his bow and arrow as she is swimming to Dean, but is unceremoniously booted overboard and into the water by his butler Andrew (Roddy McDowall), who then gives his two weeks notice. Dean cannot believe she gave up all her riches for him — but she informs him that she did not, it was all hers all along. Upon hearing this, he ponders what he can give her that she does not already have — to which she replies, "A little girl." -wikipedia.com
