The fishing schooner We're Here has just pulled up a different kind of fish: rich, 10-year-old Harvey Cheyne, who tumbled off the side of a sleek ocean liner. Harvey will have to wait months before the We're Here returns to harbor, months that will transform him from a spoiled whiner into an honorable young man - all because of the life lessons he learns from Manuel, the humble fisherman who befriends him. (official distributor synopsis)

I wasn't sure what to expect from a children's movie that is nearly eighty years old. Well, in the end, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. This is a film that isn't necessarily nice or pleasant, but it has intense moments that really work. That's its immense strength, along with the acting performances that have sustained it to the present day, keeping it still compelling.
