Captains Courageous, a novel by Rudyard Kipling made into a movie with Spencer Tracy, Freddie Bartholomew, and Lionel Barrymore in 1937. It won several academy awards. A nice movie
I couldn’t think of his name. Spencer Tracy.
It was a good movie but academy award? I don’t think so.
It didn't win best picture or actor. As child actors go, I never liked Freddie Bartholomew. I preferred Dean Stockwell in Down to the Sea in Ships.
I want to thank you for talking about something other than politics.
I want to suggest a funny movie that really is a classic even though it was made in 1974. Young Frankenstein.
I just saw blazing saddles recently and that use to be my favorite Mel brooks movie but now young Frankenstein is. Terri Garr and madalyn Kahn.
Blazing saddles isn’t as good as I remember but young Frankenstein is better
I think Young Frankenstein is probably one the funniest movies I have every seen, probably the best movie Gene Wider has ever made.
It's a shame more people on the Political forum don't spend more time on the other USMB forums. Too much time spent on politics will rot your brains.

Mark Twain was okay.
I watched another newer version of three musketeers. The older one was better. One was probably 40s the newer one probably 50s. The guy who played dark tanyan in the new one over the top or wasn’t good looking enough. And they didn’t improve on the older version just sort of repeated it.
I don't think I have ever seen a movie about Mark Twain. I've see a couple of stage plays but not a movie.
I counted 56 movies made using the Three Musketeer basic plot. There have been 23 movies titled "The Three Musketeers". Then there's The 4th Musketeer, Three and a Half Musketeers, Mickey Donald and Goofy and The Three Musketeers, Barbie and the Three Musketeers, The Musketeer, The Last Musketeer, etc...
