His success as a star unfortunately did not transfer into his manhood. Even though his acting career changed and left him no choice but to produce for television, his performances as a youth are only surpassed by Shirley Temple. His transformation from spoiled to humbled, in "Captain Courageous" (1937), is my favorite performance of his.
*Here is a scene I've shown before from "Captains Courageous" (1937)
