It is a great movie and has nothing to do with religion, I have loved it since I was a child. It is a movie for ALL faiths, or no faith at all, except faith in love, forgiveness and kindness. Lighting candles in the church is not Catholic " symbolism" , it is just a part of the story. ( I'm Catholic by the way).Would have worked just as well in a synagogue or mosque.
A masterpiece of filmmaking, and above all the actors. Spencer Tracy, and Freddie Bartholomew, work so well together. I watch this movie, over, and over. A coming of age, classic
Captains Courageous, a wonderful film...they cannot make them like this anymore. Spencer Tracy , and Freddie Bartholomew are excellent, as are the whole cast. Classic movie.
This movie is still number one no matter how old it is and thier performances are outstanding freddie bartholomew performance can not be duplicate he is sensational mary
Freddie bartholomew is the awesome actor and as a person when I watch his movies I feel he Is part of my life and I wish a had a son like him his parents should have been ashamed of themselves to interfere with his career and to have taken his money after his aunt had taken care of him they were selfish he acting so that of a real profession and a very handsome and well mannered boy missed him he an angle love mary
Spencer.....head & shoulders above all the rest.....could have/ought to have won half a dozen more Oscars but probably wanted to give the 'others' a chance!!
As good as Tracy is in this scene, Bartholomew is riveting. He had good reason to be concerned accepting this role, knowing that the kid would steal the movie.
No CGI no bad language, just great acting and brilliant storytelling.
Miss my Dad. Hopefully in a few years I'll watch it with my first grandson, and he'll get it.
My favorite movie of all time loaded with Catholic/Christian symbolism and theology. It defines best what a good loving father is suppose to be.

" My little fish " Thank you Spencer and Freddy and all of you who contributed to this unforgettable film !!!!
That ending made me cry 😢 fabulous film
The scene of Freddie on the boat by himself sobbing always gets me 😢❤❤
What a wonderful scene. There are a few good quality movies like this that should be shown to all grade school children.
Should be shown to all men before they become fathers.
I care for a 90 year old beautiful lady named Mary. Some of her fondest memories are of Freddie.
SVP, mettez des sous titres en français. Ce film est magnifique avec des acteurs géniaux, nous aimerions le suivre et le comptendre
Merci d avance❤
One of my favorite movies. My dad showed it to me

Freddie was so adorable in this movie.
Not at the beginning.

They CAN. They just wilfully choose not to.

Don't cry, don't cry .... I did ...
I've never forgotten the little fish song, I love this film since my childhood.I think the movie was made in 1939(?).
Made in 1937, and should’ve won Best Picture for 1937.
Thanx Dear for the Info....Unfortunately, this film is shown far too rarely anywhere.

I love to sing that song and makes me happy.
This topic can't be complete without Freddie's conciliation with his real father, Melvyn Douglas, at the end.

He was AMAZING. So heart touching.
Not quite stealing the movie. Tracy was just as great.
Maybe so, but can't imagine any other actor ever playing that role.....and only young Freddie could've played role of "litttle fish".
Unbelievable. So great.
My old dad used to sing swim little fish to me in the 1960,s.
@@christophermartin7927 why?
Man boy love sweet

Film completo por favor 🙏
Spencer IMMENSO!
Fun fact: This was one Steven Spielberg’s favorite movies.
He is my great great uncle- I know u won’t believe me but he is
Got any stories?
I just finished watching this a couple hours ago. Is this coincidence?
All fisherman have hooks 3 or 4 hooks 🪝🪝🪝🪝
Spencer reminds me of DeNiro in this clip.
That's his real accent
Tracy could play anything ....But a bad actor ..
Huh??
@@alexvaliansky7707 Let me guess Russian with poor english?
His awful accent was hilarious.
