5.0 out of 5 stars Why don't "THEY" make movies like this one any longer?
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2000

"Captain's Courageous" is IT...the real thing....a truly great, heartfelt, classic film....arguably THE most emotionally compelling film of Hollywod's Golden Age.

Victor Fleming was known as a "MAN"S" director; so how did he produce one of the most perfectly paced, sensitive and outright BEAUTIFULLY loving "relationship" films of all time.....a story of a profound bond between a boy and a man who becomes his surrogate father? It's simply amazing.

OK...you have to overcome your initial reaction to Spencer Tracy's pseudo-"Portegoosie" (as John Carradine says) accent; after that...sit back and prepare to lose yourself in moviemaking at its finest.

Freddie Bartholomew....incredible performance! The growing bond between him and Spence....superbly wrought! The heaviness, the heartbreak of the film's final 15 minutes.....I experience it as if it were actually happening to me every time I watch it! This is one of those films that I am happy to know simply EXISTS...it's sitting there on the shelf, ready to be experienced any time, and that gives me great satisfaction.

The scene of conflict with Tracy and John Carradine....then the uncomfortable but caring bond that develops bewteen Carradine and Freddie Bartholomew near the end.....the reuniting of Freddie with Melvin Douglas....has there ever been a more revealing encounter? The final ceremony scene.....I've never been particularly moved by the hymn "Rock of Ages"; now the emotions well up when I even THINK about it.

Why Don't THEY make movies like this any longer????....BECAUSE THEY CAN'T! The world has changed..our values, our ways of viewing and expressing ourselves have become too "sophisticated" and cynical. Oh sure, Spielberg and others desperately TRY to go back to the sincerity and innocence of the age which produced "Captain's Courageous"....they do a decent job of conjuring, of IMITATING films of the Golden Age...but ...well, you simply CANNOT GO BACK.

If you want to experience the REAL THING----the sincere, honest, heartfelt emotional experience of a great story...GET THIS FILM.

AND FOR GOD"S SAKE (MGM, Turner...whoever..) GET IT OUT ON DVD! It's your RESPONSIBILITY to preserve these great films using the newest state-of-the-art technology. Believe me, when every last "BIG MOMMA's HOUSE" has been dead and buried as the CRAP that it is, "Captain's Courageous" will live on....and hopefully NOT only as a memory!

I recall that my daughter liked this movie when she was young. I bought this to show her son. He is hard to settle down in front of an old movie, especially a black and white one. But I managed to to keep him in front of this movie, and it seemed to make an impression on him. I approve of the moral lesson.

4.0 out of 5 stars Movie vs. Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2013
Verified Purchase
"Captains Courageous" is a well-done black and white film from the era when movie-makers didn't think they had to change the book the movie is based off of too much. This movie added a little more to the beginning of the story, so you could get to know the character and attitudes of the main character, and didn't go as far as the book at the end, neither of which detracts from the story. It is a full cast of famous and almost-famous actors, including Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Freddie Bartholomew, and Lionel Barrymore. An enjoyable movie with superb scenes on the ocean, and a good story to boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars An oldie but a goodie
Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2009

This was the third movie I ever saw as a child. The first was Mutiny on the Bounty, the second was Wanderers in the Wasteland, and Captain's was the third, all in 1938 or so. The fourth was Snow White. Speaking of Captain's, they don't make them like that anymore - no unbelieveable computer simulations and real acting. Of course, movie making has come a lomg way since then in many ways, not all satisfactory. A current view might be that Captain's is kinda corny, but I don't think so. It deals with verities that Hollywood has forgotten. Performances by Spencer Tracy in his youth as a stalwart, simple doryman who helps the snotty little rich kid, Freddy Bartholomew find truth and the path to manhood. Also first-rate is Lionel Barrymore; strange not to see him in a wheelchair in this powerful role. Also ran, David Carradine as the cynica fauly finder and Mickey Rooney in what must have been one of his earliest . Melvyn Douglas is a convincing busy, rich daddy who prices himself out of his son'life until it is almost too late. But first, isn't Freddy just too lucky to have fallen from his daddy's liner almost into Spencer's tiny dory?

What is most powerful in the lack of special effects is the thrilling actual footage of real Gloucestermen racing home under all canvas in a whole gale. But where is the Bluenose? Another film which virtually ignores their majority role in the Grand Banks fishery!

Great acting by Spencer Tracy and Freddie Bartholomew as they are both amazing in this wonderful story. Very touching. Surprised and pleased to also see Mickey Rooney. The ships and ocean scenery are also beautiful. Definitely recommend this picture, especially for collectors and avid fans of these actors.
