AFFAIRS OF CAPPY RICKS(1937)
A pretty short movie at 55 minutes! Walter Brennan
(almost unrecognizable, much slimmer than when he
was in The Real McCoys)as a man who comes home from
a long voyage at sea to find his family and affairs
in shambles(at least from his point of view)! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
A pretty lightweight comedy here. This stars Walter
Brennan stars as Captain Ricks, a family patriarch
who returns home after a long trip abroad to find
his personal and business affairs all in a shambles!
His daughter is getting married to a shlub he doesn't
approve of, his business has been taken over by
his future mother-in-law AND his ship, his pride
and joy has become automated! Ricks takes matters
into his own hands and literally tries to be captain
of the ship again by taking them on a cruise where
he can try to boss everyone around and be in control
everyone again. But it doesn't work, so he takes
matters into his own hands, he "shipwrecks" everyone
so he can get everyone straightened out! Walter
Brennan is great here as is the whole cast. And
I love the whole 'Captain of the ship" motif that
they have going on here. The one problem I have
with this is that it goes on far too long, going
into one madcap adventure after another. Some
lengthening of scenes (as opposed to shorter subplot
scenes) would have done the trick here. - Spuzzlightyear
