Father/Son, Sailing, Coming of Age, Adventure, Based on Book

This film is nothing less than marvelous. A true classic that I think still captivates a modern audience. It is full of action/adventure to keep a good pace but also has the important moments of conflict, reflection, and love. It is a great Coming of Age film that shows how vital a father/son relationship can be to a boy. And it is wonderful to watch young Harvey's transformation. I'd watch this again tomorrow, I enjoyed it that much.
