굿바이 마이라이프

[박대선]

일반적으로 돈이 많으면 시간이 없는 경우가 많다. 이 영화에서도 아빠가 부유해서 집사와 가정부를 두고 생활하지만 하비는 아빠가 사업상 바쁘기 때문에 제대로 배울 시간이 없다. 결국 못된 행동으로 정학을 받은 하비는 아빠의 유럽출장에 동행하게 되는데 그 배에서도 권모술수적인 행동을 하다가 바다에 빠지게 되고 마침 근처를 지나던 어선에 구조된다.

어선에서도 그는 집에 당장 데려다주면 많은 보상을 받을 것이라고 계속 요구하지만 선장은 3개월간 뉴펀들랜드의 그랭뱅크에서 대구와 넙치를 잡고 다시 미국으로 돌아가게 된다. 그동안 하비는 노동의 즐거움을 알게되고 자신에게 불리함을 알면서도 잘못을 인정하는 용기를 배우게 된다. 어제 본 라임오렌지나무에도 나오지만 그를 이렇게 이끌어 주는 마누엘의 죽음을 마주치게되는 주인공의 감정표현은 이 영화의 최고 장면이다.

사람은 태어나서 언젠가는 죽는다. 그동안 사기열전에 나온 인물들 처럼 국가를 위하거나 학문을 위해 평생을 보내는 사람도 있고 자신의 야망을 위해 사는 사람도 있고 때로는 자신의 욕망만을 위해 시간을 보내는 사람도 있다. 하지만 최고의 삶은 그가 죽었을 때 그를 슬퍼하는 사람들이 얼마나 되는 가에 따라 결정되지 않을까? 물론 그들도 슬픔을 잊게되겠지만...

Plot[edit]

Harvey Cheyne (Freddie Bartholomew) is the spoiled son of business tycoon Frank Burton Cheyne (Melvyn Douglas). He is shunned by his classmates at a private boarding school, and eventually suspended for bad behavior. His father therefore takes his son with him on a business trip to Europe via a trans-Atlantic steamship. En route, Harvey falls overboard in the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. He is rescued by a Portuguese-American fisherman, Manuel Fidello (Spencer Tracy), and taken aboard the fishing schooner We're Here. Harvey fails to persuade captain Disko Troop (Lionel Barrymore) to take him ashore, nor can he convince him of his wealth; but the captain offers him a temporary membership in the crew until they return to port, and Harvey eventually accepts. Befriended by Captain Troop's son, Dan (Mickey Rooney), he becomes acclimated to the fishing lifestyle. In the climactic race back to the Gloucester, Massachusetts port against a rival schooner, the Jennie Cushman, Manuel climbs to the top of the mast to furl the sail, but the mast cracks and he is plunged into the water. He realizes that he is hopelessly injured, and tells the captain to cut him free. As Manuel says goodbye to Harvey, the captain cuts him free, and Manuel sinks below the water. Eventually, the schooner returns to port and Harvey is reunited with his father, whom he surprises by his own greater maturity.

Reception[edit]

Frank S. Nugent of The New York Times called the film "another of those grand jobs of moviemaking we have come to expect of Hollywood's most prodigal studio. With its rich production, magnificent marine photography, admirable direction and performances, the film brings vividly to life every page of Kipling's novel and even adds an exciting chapter or two of its own."^[2] Variety reported that the Kipling story had "been given splendid production, performance, photography and dramatic composition."^[3] Harrison's Reports wrote, "Excellent! It is the type of entertainment that audiences will not forget soon, for its spiritual beauty makes a deep impression on one."^[4] John Mosher of The New Yorker called it "as rich a film as you will see this spring ... The picture is magnificent as a sketch of storm and struggle on the ocean."^[5]

Box Office[edit]

According to MGM records the film earned $1,688,000 in the US and Canada and $1,445,000 elsewhere resulting in a profit of $355,000.^[1]

Awards[edit]

Spencer Tracy won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his work in this film. The movie was also nominated for three other Academy Awards:

• Best Picture - Louis D. Lighton, producer
• Best Film Editing - Elmo Veron
• Best Writing, Screenplay - Marc Connelly, John Lee Mahin and Dale Van Every

A VHS version of the 1937 film was released by MGM Home Video in 1990 followed by Warner Home Video's DVD of the film on January 31, 2006.

In popular culture[edit]

Holden Caulfield, protagonist of the 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, is thought to look like Harvey Cheyne, as in the book a prostitute tells Caulfield that he looks like the boy who falls off a boat in a film starring Spencer Tracy, though the film is not mentioned by name.

The film is considered a classic semi documentary record of Grand Banks Schooners fishing under sail. The back projection shots of the period fishing schooners under sail are frequently watched by members of the American Sail Training Community for the sailing shots - rather than for the human plot.
