Product Description:
Little brat Harvey accidently goes overboard on an ocean liner and is picked up by a fishing boat where he remains stranded with the fishermen crew.
Amazon.com:
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

Unimpressed with the young castaway's unlikely claims of wealth, the captain of the fishing boat offers Harvey a low paying job, in exchange for which Harvey will be fed and taken care of. During the course of the long voyage, Harvey ... Read More

An excellent film, which earned Spencer Tracy an Academy Award. The 4:3 B&W picture is very good.

I am very pleased. I was truly surprised how quickly I got the movie and started sharing with my grandchildren the joy of a classic movie.

I hadn't seen this film for many years, and my last memory was that this was a very good film I enjoyed when I was young. Well, after re-watching this recently, I was reminded that this is a tremendous film that really packs a punch.
I have seen some criticism about the changing of Kipling's classic and also about the poor Portuguese accent Tracy had. All I can say is, that is not nearly enough of a detractor for a nearly perfect film! I've seen a lot of dramas and a lot of melodramas. I don't ... Read More
