Summary of Captains Courageous

The fishing schooner We're Here has just pulled up a different kind of fish: rich 10-year-old Harvey Cheyne who tumbled off the side of a sleek ocean liner. Harvey will have to wait months before the We're Here returns to harbor months that will transform him from a spoiled whiner into an honorable young man - all because of the life lessons he learns from Manuel the humble fisherman who befriends him. From Rudyard Kipling's classic Captains Courageous thrills with its seagoing action grand scale and all-star cast. But what gives it full-masted magnificence is the chemistry between Freddie Bartholomew (Harvey) and Spencer Tracy (Manuel). Tracy won his first Best Actor Academy Award for his towering portrait of the father we all wish for: virile patient wise and protective. Set sail for cinema glory.Running Time: 112 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/CLASSIC UPC:?012569676749 Manufacturer No:?67674
The award-winning 1937 version of Kipling's classic Captains Courageous finds spoiled-rotten brat Harvey Cheyne (Freddie Bartholomew) well on the way to becoming a horrible adult, under the illusion that money can buy all happiness. The little monster falls off a cruise ship, and is fished out of the drink by Portuguese fisherman Manuel (Spencer Tracy) and brought back to his fishing boat. Though the overprivileged lad initially chafes at being put to work aboard the smelly vessel, he eventually learns the value of a day's work and learns lessons in life that make him a functional person and bring him several steps closer to manhood. Despite Tracy's indeterminate accent, he excels in his role as the boy's friend, and enthusiastic performances from the rest of the cast bring this coming-of-age tale to life. It's a film that has lost none of its sentimental appeal (or occasional hamminess) over the years and should have an all-ages appeal to fans of Hollywood classics. --Jerry Renshaw
