Affairs of Cappy Ricks (1937)
Five bags of Popcorn and two barnacles
6 March 2024
This is the movie of it's era, truly. Great acting all around and a no-nonsense plot that keeps you engaged the entire time Cappy and everyone is on screen. He makes many references to shipboard things that I cannot comprehend, but I think I got the meat and potatoes on what he was talking about.
He really lays down the law to his stupid family when he returns, and that is a blessing as they are all slovenly and shiftless as the day is long.
Ralph Staub is a visionary, and truly deserves all the credit here, though Walter Brennan made the most of a stellar script, as expected. I hope we see more of this duo in the years to come!
