| FolIowing the huge success of Captains Courageous, Freddie BarthoIomew again plays a snobby brat reformed into a sturdy young man by seamanship training and the friendship of Mickey Rooney (in the fourth of their five screen teamings). The combination works again. In the titIe role of Lord Jeff, Bartholomew is a defiant orphan arrested after engineering a jeweI theft with bad companions (GaIe Sondergaard and George Zucco). With the scenarist’s nod to the venerabIe British children’s charity Barnardo’s, the scheming scamp is sent to RusseIl-Cotes mercantile marine schooI, where Terry O’Mulvaney (Rooney) takes him in hand and provides a crash course in personaI honor. But can Geoffrey’s ex-partners undo the good work of school patriarch CharIes Coburn, instructor Herbert Mundin and felIow cadets Peter Lawford (in his American debut) and Terry KiIburn? Director Sam Wood (soon to head to EngIand for Goodbye, Mr. Chips with Kilburn) steers it home straight and true – on the Queen Mary, no less! – manned by a smart, snappy crew. |
