The halibut scene is great.
Now Harvey will stop cheating. The entire event including when Bartholomew admits what he did to Long Jack and then Tracy defends him is fanfreakintastic.

Incidentally, the trailer for the 1946 re-release plays up Spencer Tracy as the star, with prominence given to both Mickey Rooney and Melvyn Douglas who by then had become bigger box office names...while Freddie Bartholomew is credited after them as if he's a supporting player...when Freddie is actually the star of this motion picture.

This really is a well-made motion picture. A classic for the whole family.
I bet Walt Disney wished he had gotten the rights to make his own version.

"I know this bottom as well as I know my wife's bottom."
"You can't say that."
"I know this bottom as well as my wife knows her own kitchen."
"Better."
These are sailors not alter boys after all.

The editing for Manuel's death scene is excellent. So many good reaction shots...

Good move by Long Jack giving the kid Tracy's razor. First class act.

Harvey earned $9.00 for all his labor at sea.
He won't be able to bribe many teachers with that amount.

He won't be able to bribe many teachers with that amount. Earned money is worth so much more - fantastic lesson.
This kid Kipling has a future as a writer.

From MGM's publicity materials:
"CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS dramatizes the transformation of a spoiled rich boy into a courageous young man. Rescued at sea by a group of fisherman, he is protected by one of them-- Manuel-- whose salty human wisdom he comes to respect and love. When Manuel dies heroically, it is the lad whose loss is inconsolable."

"Rock of Ages" hymn. Perfect. Wonderful movie making. Something must have blown into my eyes causing them to water.
