Full Plot Details

Monterey, California in the 1940's. Cannery Row - the section of town where the now closed fish canneries are located - is inhabited primarily by the down and out, although many would not move away even if they could. Probably the most upstanding citizen in the area is Doc, a marine biologist who earns a living primarily by collecting and selling marine specimens for research. He is a lost soul who is looking for his place in life. He is running away from his past, one where he is trying to make amends for what he considers a past wrong. But his current life isn't totally satisfying either. He believes that his recent collection of eight baby octopi will help him define that future in conducting research on their behavior. However, he is finding that research is not as easy as he had hoped, and that he is still feeling restless. Into the area comes drifter Suzy DeSoto. She too is a lost soul. With few job skills, she gets a job as what she calls a floozy in the local whorehouse, despite her openly headstrong demeanor not making her well suited to the work. Doc and Suzy are immediately attracted to each other, but theirs is a clash of personalities, despite each truly liking the other. The other residents of Cannery Row do their part for a Doc/Suzy coupling, not always with successful results. Doc and Suzy will first have to find their own lot in life before they can commit to someone else, be it the other or anyone else.

Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 8/10 by Pamela KesslerSentimental comedies must walk a fine line between mawkishness and insipidity: although this one slips off the wire occasionally, a strong script, careful treatment and some spirited performances keep it aloft.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by John J. PuccioCannery Row may be excessively sentimental, even a little corny, but it's all heart.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertThe movie is almost always good to look at, thanks to Richard MacDonald's sets (he linked together two giant sound stages) and Sven Nykvist's photography. And Nolte and Winger are almost able to make their relationship work, if only it didn't seem scripted out of old country songs and lonely hearts columns.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 5/10 by Jay ScottThe only people who emerge from this precious nonsense smelling good are Richard MacDonald, the English production designer, and Sven Nykvist, the Swedish cameraman.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Gary ArnoldCannery Row is expendable and creaky, a lavishly mounted antique.
User Review - 10/10 by Cheryl RAn absolute favorite movie, hands down. Who knows why I love this film? The shadow knows. I do. see it.
User Review - 10/10 by Larry .A great love story with great music! Frank McRrea should have won an Oscar!
User Review - 10/10 by John SI fell in love with Debra Winger when I saw this movie. She was so lovely to me it almost hurt to watch her.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark PWonderful movie for its quirkiness and characters. If you need a strong plot and high-intensity action scenes this movie may not be for you, but if you like living with a bunch of interesting misfits, then this is the crème soufflà (C).
User Review - 10/10 by Peter SBeautiful Debra Winger, great Nick Nolte.
