	Film History of the 1930s
		Special-effects processes were advanced by the late 1930s, making it possible for many more films to be shot on sets rather than on-location (e.g., The Hurricane (1937) and Captains Courageous (1937).) In 1937, the Disney-produced Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was the first feature-length animated film - a milestone.
		The 30s was also the decade of the sound and color revolutions and the advance of the 'talkies', and the further development of film genres (gangster films, musicals, newspaper-reporting films, historical biopics, social-realism films, lighthearted screwball comedies, westerns and horror to name a few).
		The 1930s decade (and most of the 1940s as well) has been nostalgically labeled "The Golden Age of Hollywood" (although most of the output of the decade was black-and-white).

	dOc DVD Review: Captains Courageous (1937)
		Shirley Temple aside, Bartholomew reigned supreme as the 1930s biggest child star, and Captains Courageous reminds us what a talented, natural performer he was.
		Those watching this preview—if unfamiliar with the film—could easily assume Mickey Rooney co-stars with Tracy, as he did in Boys Town and Men of Boys Town a few years before, and Bartholomew is but a mere supporting player.
		One of the finest family films ever made, this exciting and immensely human adventure story, based on Rudyard Kipling's classic novel, continues to charm, thrill, and move us almost 70 years after its initial release.

	The DVD Journal Quick Reviews: Captains Courageous
		Fleming's work here is solid — Courageous is a fine adventure film, the sort of which still enchants, made with little pretension and an eye for moving the story forward.
		His ace in the hole was Freddie Bartholomew, one of the great child actors in cinema, who plays well against the tough love provided by Spencer Tracy.
		Working from the story by Rudyard Kipling, the story follows Harvey Cheyne (Freddie Bartholomew), who's a young boy sheltered by his rich father (Melvyn Douglas) and has little understanding of the world, all of which changes when he takes a ride on an ocean liner and gets knocked overboard.
