a very well done movie. I like movies about friendships. especially ones that you would not expect. a 12 yr old. rich spoiled brat falls off an ocean liner ship. he is found by a fisherman who take him back to the fishing boat. this is back in the 1930s and this boat has no way of communicating they have this boy. since they are supposed to be out in the ocean fishing for a month they have to keep the boy. he starts out showing what a brat he is refusing to help.etc. but soon Harvey the boy and Manuel the fisherman become friends. Harvey learns how to work hard and finds pride in it. a very sad part of what happens to Manuel. Harvey eventually gets to shore and reunited with his father who is happy to find his son is alive. good movie, with Spencer Tracy and Freddie bartholomew, Lionnel Barrymore and micky rooney are also fine.
