Why TCM can't make room for this movie, while at the same time continously showing films of the same same time era again and again, is beyond me. I do occasionally see it on other channels though and it is available on ok.ru. Don't miss it if you have the chance to see it! Great hidden gem!
This was Lionel Barrymore's last lead role. If you don't think he had many feature roles please check out his filmography. He was great in character roles but also had fine lead roles as well. Somehow he was underrated but one of our finest actors of the golden era! Much better and enduring than his bafoon overrated brother who died of booze and stardom!
Also a fine support cast from Richard Widmark as his first mate and Dean Stockwell as Captain Bering's grandson. It's a great relationship movie that anyone can relate to. The acting and setting are a treasure..
