Captains Courageous
1937 · Film · 115 min
Directed by Victor Fleming
Harvey, the arrogant and spoiled son of an indulgent absentee-father, falls overboard from a transatlantic steamship and is rescued by a fishing vessel on the Grand Banks. Harvey fails to persuade them to take him ashore, nor convince the crew of his wealth. The captain offers him a low-paid job, until they return to port, as part of the crew that turns him into a mature, considerate young man.

The 30's is where it really got kicked up a notch. amazing stage performers, state-of-the-art film tech, and a world full of life. "Captains Courageous" shows how incredible many fish were in the water. "You Can't Take it with You" is an homage to the artists soul. "Tonight or Never"'s perfectly balanced pre-code saucy love story. The effects in "Ssh, the octopus" and "the old dark house" still stand up
