Me and my dad watched this together. My dad was a crewman on a long liner when I was a kid. It was cool. We loved the movie, but because he was gone summer to winter every year, we loved being able to hang out together. Sure miss ya Pops.
A decent version of a great book. My great grandfather was skipper on a fishing schooner out of Gloucester, so I've always been partial to this story. Karl Malden does a good job with the New England accent, he doesn't over do it as many do.
I'm amazed they made this into a movie! I discovered the book roughly the same year this movie was made. Woolworth's in downtown Honolulu had a bin of books for sale, two for $1, and I picked out White Fang by Jack London and this one. I started in reading it on the bus on the long ride home. I just about had the thing memorized. White Fang was good, but this book was a whole world. If you haven't read it, I urge you to get it, or it might even be free online.
I LOVE SPENCER TRACY IN THE ORIGINAL VERSIO .... BUT RECARDO MANTALBAN DID A GREAT JOB .... FRD GWYNN , B KARL MALDEN .. . HOW DID I MISS THIS GEAM SO LONG ... GREAT 2 ND PLACE ...
Thanks so much for posting this. I was a kid when this movie came out, and I never knew about it. This production is much closer to Kipling’s novel. As much as I love Spencer Tracy, Lionel Barrymore, and Freddie Bartholomew, there were just too many changes in the 1937 version to suit my taste. The book clearly emphasizes the relationships of Harvey with Dan and Disko Troop. I really enjoyed seeing actual fishing schooners and crews in action in this adaptation. I thought the casting was excellent. I’m looking forward to more of your selections.
This movie was so important to me that about 4 years ago, I ordered a vhs tape of it. Thank You for uploading this movie!!! Much Appreciated!!! It made such a impression on my when it aired back in 1977 that out of the blue over the coming decades I would have it spontaneously pop into my mind!!!
Oh gosh, you're welcome! I can definitely see why it would leave an impression, it's such a good movie and a pretty faithful adaptation, the best that I've seen. I had a VHS of it in my collection and wanted to share it with everyone. I'm happy that people have been checking it out and that it has also brought a little happiness to them in turn.
I run with the name White Shaman, I am in service to humanity, I am a 56 year old male and yes, this movie has a good strong moral fiber to it, in the movie when the black cook, said 2 phrases, how can a person not be moved emotionally, when he said, simply the word "Deep" and also the word "Master" Satnam and Namaste - White Shaman - Kelly
@@kellyb.mcdonald1863 If you want to see a really great film,of the same name, look for for the 1930's version with Spensor Tracey it's a hundred times better than this,I've only watched ten minutes of this and it's really hard to keep watching with the acting so bad. Do your self a favor watch the classic.
@@jakewelsh6930 Ya, Ya, I have seen the Spencer Tracy movie several times!!! and it is the original masterpiece!!!! even though this modern version of Captain's Courageous with Montalban and Malden doesn't have quite the depth of acting in it, I always seen to crack in a psychic way, when the black cook delivers two "one word lines" one of them "master" and the other one word line "deep", when he is ascribing and describing the rebellious teen, who has now jinks the captain and crew, and now if he doesn't stop being a jinks, the whole crew will suffer from it. Hey Jake Welsh, Like I said I am a White Shaman- and I would tell you about urine therapy books, about Edgar Cayce Sacred Gemstone Book by Shelley Kaehr PhD, about Revelations: 21 19-20 and that these 12 gemstones are for your 12 systems within your human body, and can provide healing if you will carry them on your person, and yes, even to bed with you, also White Diamond is for the non physical system ie. consciousness, also these stones can provide not only physical healing but if people think bad thoughts of you and send them out, the gemstones will deflect/ricochet off of you. Get the book God-Man The Word Made Flesh by George W. Cary and Inez Eudora Perry circa 1918, as well as Shelley's book and even Divination of God by Shelley Kaehr Ph. D. I want you to visit (if you want to) www.alkalinewaterplus.com for their a/c alkaline water machines also visit www.alkalife.com for their ph booster drops, also see Hyland's Bioplasma Tablets containing all 12 essential mineral salts for the 12 systems of the body sold on Ama-zon, also visit: www.guardianofeden.com for their colloidal silver and colloidal gold, also the benefits of Sonne #7 from Fred Meyer's will detoxify people of heavy metals, Oh, one thing about the colloidal silver and gold they can always be taken together because the silver works on the physical body, and the gold works on the mental body ie. the Brain. Like I said I am a White Shaman - And a contributing member of society - Kelly and Mayan Curandero Healer, and Corny my Corn Snake send infinite love!!! Sincerely, Kelly
Good show. Always remembered the commercials for this movie when it was playing on ABC Sunday Night movie in 1980. Only took me 40 years to finally watch it.
I just finished reading the book. I did not know it was well known enough that they made a movie adaptation. For my book was a pale green hard cover and I found it in my grandmas attic. When I looked up the author for more of his books I saw that this was fair known! I was excited to see that I could watch it here! ty!
You're welcome! This is a lesser-known adaptation- there are two others from 1996 and 1937, the latter being the more famous. Glad you read the book and enjoyed the movie.
@@jensmom604 It isn't stupid, there's no need to be rude. Many know that the first film adaptation was famous and many do not. Fact of the matter is that Captain's Courageous isn't as known of in modern times. Some people, especially younger generations today, they are still just discovering Captains Courageous and the author who wrote it.
To hear all these comments about "kids have no morals today". The original film was made in 1936 in the time of Robber Barons and absolute greed- so Don't talk about "The Good Old'e Days" There were none and I am long in the tooth and a well read man. Greed and inconsideration in the name of profit are as old as Adam! The best part of humanity is always on the side of people who think of others and pursue their daily bread in humble respect to the effort and those who work to keep things honest!
@@GoodmanMIke59 have him *read* the original. Better yet, put him aboard a Gloucester fisherman and have him work his passage for a season. Get his hands into some fish guts and that'll straighten the little pussy's ass!
Coming of age story: spoiled brat becomes a man on a fishing schooner, after considerable resistance. Nice depiction of crew dynamics on board. Recommend. Thanks @little !
I love this movie and the book it is based from. Altough, I have to admit I'm not the biggest Kipling fan out there; Captains Courageous being the only book by him that I've ever enjoyed. Didn't like much the Jungle Book and couldn't finish Kim.
I absolutely love this film, BUT, it's amazing to me how many films, and not just films; all media makes this mistake time and time again about testing a knife's edge to see if it's sharp by running your thumb lengthwise down the blade. If the knife is sharp, you're going to cut your thumb! A knife's edge is tested safely by running your thumb perpendicular to the blade; sideways across the blade in not one, but both directions to determine the sharpness of the edge and whether there is a burr on either side that needs to be removed. When I see an actor slide their thumb lengthwise down a sharpened knife, I cringe! It is so disturbing to me! More importantly, anyone seeing the film is taught the wrong way to test a sharpened edge and encourages people to slice their fingers! Why was this not stopped a long time ago? If you wanna see what I'm talking about, go to 37:48.
I have seen all 3 versions and this one is the best and the truest to the book. I own the VHS but have no way to put it on DVD. I'll have to look for someone to do that for me.
@Huawei is a criminal organization. True. I seldom agree with the oscars and I don't watch them. I felt that Tracy was over the top. Manuel did not die in the book, nor in the 1977 version as played by Ricardo Montalban.
I just watched again. Another bit that was edited out. After attending the Frenchman's funeral, Harvey buys the man's knife with an advance from Captain Troop. Then, Harvey and Danny are out fishing and they hook onto the man's body. Danny says that he has come back for his knife and makes Harvey throw it over the side. They also throw all the fish back that they had caught.
Oh that sounds pretty interesting. I imagine the version I've uploaded here was edited for a younger audience although it seems a bit much to cut out those scenes. Children today wouldn't even bat an eye. Thank you for telling me this too.
He learned a valuable lesson, such as those that don't often get taught in media these days and he became a better person for it. A beautifully written novel to base a movie on.
There is a scene from this movie that gave me nightmares as a kid where the captain and boy pull a dead body from the ocean and throw his knife back into the ocean. I can't find it in this video. Anyone else remember this scene? Am I misremembering? Is it not this film?
Montalban too elegant for Manuel. Narration at the end does match up with Harvey's British accent. Carl Malden is excellent as is Harvey's father. Even though this is truer to the book, the 30's film is better made.
The actor portraying him is British. British accents are usually stereotyped as being poncy, haughty and highbred- rich. A caricature, sometimes in bad taste, but one still used in media today. At least the boy playing Harvey really was British in this case. Suits him.
What a pathetic pale imitation of the real movie with Spencer Tracy as Manuel, who is the central figure of Kiplings' Novel. Disappointing waste of time.
Me and my dad watched this together. My dad was a crewman on a long liner when I was a kid. It was cool. We loved the movie, but because he was gone summer to winter every year, we loved being able to hang out together. Sure miss ya Pops.
Such a classic. Education is important, but some lessons you can’t learn in school. Such a wonderful film!
I completely agree
Watch the original with Spensor Tracey, you'll appreciate it much more than this.
it could be taught but they chose not too :D
The actor to the left of Jonathan - Randy Faustino - in the opening scene, was digging out a cigarette before he was asked for it.
We need more story tellers like Kipling.
I read this story as a kid, and watched the original movie with Freddy Bartholomew.
A decent version of a great book. My great grandfather was skipper on a fishing schooner out of Gloucester, so I've always been partial to this story. Karl Malden does a good job with the New England accent, he doesn't over do it as many do.
I'm amazed they made this into a movie! I discovered the book roughly the same year this movie was made.

Come to think of it, the other book may have been "The Call Of The Wild". Meh. But this book, as I said, is a world.
Thanks for uploading this. I saw this when I was 13 or 14 and I loved it. Still do. Cheers.
You're very welcome

I am 14 watching this for my school, lol
I'm glad you watched it. The book is also worth reading ⛵
You'd be better off watching the 1937 Spencer Tracy version. If you'd actually read the book, you'd understand why.
This movie version is the best portrayal of the book. There is some deviation, but the others are poor or even really bad.
Handling ropes without gloves. They must have had catcher’s mitts for hands!

Based on the book, Harvey was a spoiled brat but he's not mean spirit.
He learned a valuable lesson, such as those that don't often get taught in media these days and he became a better person for it. A beautifully written novel to base a movie on.
He was a mean brighten the original. Great slapping scene.

Isn't he great!
Отличная книга, отличный фильм! Спасибо!
Watch the captains courageous with Spencer Tracey !!!
Ricardo Montalban prayed pretty good in Portuguese for a Spanish speaker.
in the book the cook is a black scot that speaks the gaelic tongue perfectly
Yes simple wonderful

Why is there an apostrophe in the title?
I didn't notice until you mentioned it. Not sure why it was added.
@@littlejunkettes4122 By some idiot who thinks that a plural requires an apostrophe, presumably!
Opening scene. Mate to helmsman " Come 2 degrees to starboard ". Not a good start.
So why does this kid have a British accent?
The actor portraying him is British.
British accents are usually stereotyped as being poncy, haughty and highbred- rich. A caricature, sometimes in bad taste, but one still used in media today. At least the boy playing Harvey really was British in this case. Suits him.
New England upper class at one time was very similar to British I thought .
The old one is the good one, not this
Amazing cast but a production budget of $100.
Look
37:28
What a pathetic pale imitation of the real movie with Spencer Tracy as Manuel, who is the central figure of Kiplings' Novel. Disappointing waste of time.
Go ahead: try to improve on Kipling. Extra dialogue and subplots only make it worse. Bah!!!
Remake vraiment médiocre, à mille lieues de l'original.
A poor remake.
A real shame the original movie banned by the CCP.
That was an amazing movie,
This one is garbage.
this movie is so dry and boring to me how do you like this i have to read the booki for school but i hate reading
Weak-assed 1970s lousy acting remake of a classic. Holy shit.
