Plot summary

Harvey, the arrogant and spoiled son of an indulgent absentee-father, falls overboard from a transatlantic steamship and is rescued by a fishing vessel on the Grand Banks. Harvey fails to persuade them to take him ashore, nor convince the crew of his wealth. The captain offers him a low-paid job, until they return to port, as part of the crew that turns him into a mature, considerate young man.

If you don't swallow hard or wipe away

If you don't swallow hard or wipe away a tear at the film's climax, check your pulse. One of the great films from Hollywood's greatest era.

One of my all-time favorite classic films. This

One of my all-time favorite classic films. This was one of my mom's favorites, and she shared it with me when I was a teen, and I rewatch it to this day when I need a feel-good movie that also makes me sob. Make sure you have tissues handy.

So, I have recently really gotten into film

So, I have recently really gotten into film and film history, and this is the first older black & white movies I watched in a long, long time. I was blown away by the story and pacing of this movie, and I actually couldn't keep my eyes off of it. Freddie Bartholomew did a fantastic job as Harvey, and the coming of age story here is really wholesome.
