Captains Courageous 1977 TV, 110 min. Genre: Adventure
Director: Harvey Hart Cast: Karl Malden, Jonathan Kahn, Ricardo Montalban, Fritz Weaver, Fred Gwynne, Shay Duffin, Johnny Doran
Karl Malden is good as the fisherman in this remake of the 1937 classic Kipling story. Otherwise, this made-for-TV film is average fare about the spoiled rich boy, rescued by a fishing ship, who grows up through hard word.

Director: Vincent McEveety Cast: Robert Foxworth, Joan Hackett, Peter Ustinov, Vic Morrow, Johnny Doran, Billy "Pop" Atmore, Jane Wyatt, Virginia Vincent, Dub Taylor, Dick Van Patten, Robert DoQui, Don Knight, Mills Watson, Valentin de Vargas, George Lindsey
With map in hand, Davie (Johnny Doran) and Thad (Billy Attmore) set out in search of a buried treasure and run into some unsavory characters–Lauriette Paxton (Joan Hackett), Dr. Ewing T. Snodgrass (Peter Ustinov), and Jim (Robert Foxworth)–along the way. Meanwhile, the dastardly Spangler (Vic Morrow) is in hot pursuit. Good Disney fare.
