Customer Reviews

An old story that is never told better.

A rich brat (Freddy Bartholomew) is dysfunctional due to his environment. There are always Sherly Temple-type stories of some kid being orphaned and mistreated. Luckily, this is not one of those movies. Everyone except the kid has a full understanding of the problem and good solutions. The school authorities say that he has good potential. His father takes a direct interest, and it was just unforeseen circumstances that changed his life. He falls off the ship and is rescued by a fisherman. He must stay on board for the duration of the season. This makes a natural environment to learn bonding and character. It is not the outcome, but the process, that intrigues us, and some unforgettable acting by Spencer Tracy.
