Talks about his 2nd Film, High Barbaree
CMH is thrilled to present our 2nd exclusive video interview with Claude Jarman Jr. You will probably remember Claude as ‘Jody Baxter’ in his feature film debut, The Yearling, opposite Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman, but all told Claude starred in over 10 films during the classic-era years.
Claude chats with us today about his experiences while filming High Barbaree (1947) with Van Johnson and June Allyson.

A Big Thank You to Claude for his time — and for sharing his wonderful memories with us!
