Assamattafayou, Leetle Feesh? Captains Courageous  (1937) Captains Courageous makes me cry like a little girl every time, and not just because of Spencer Tracy's accent*, but because Freddie Bartholomew is so very good. It's probably the only picture whe read more

"Swing High, Swing Low," Carole Lombard's third of four films made with Fred MacMurray, isn't particularly well-remembered today (perhaps because it's both lapsed into the public domain and no complete 35mm print has survived), but it was Paramount's biggest moneymaker for all of 1937. That was a pr read more

A mix of light comedy and dark drama defines Swing High, Swing Low, the third movie to team Carole Lombard and frequent co-star Fred MacMurray and the only one that might be classified as a drama. At the beginning we see what looks to be a screwball comedy in the vein of the team’s earlier H read more
