365+ Movies In 365 Days: Day 315 - Captains Courageous


I was in the mood for a classic so I popped 1937's Captains Courageous in the DVD player. Besides the great Rudyard Kipling story and the fine performances from Spencer Tracy, Lionel Barrymore, Freddie Bartholomew, Mickey Rooney, Melvyn Douglas and John Carradine the film also gives an authentic view of what it must have been like to fish off the Grand Banks before machines replaced the men.

At The Movie House rating ****
