"High Barbaree" was directed by Jack Conway. It is a well done film about U. S. Navy flier Alec Brooke who is shot down during World War II. The flyer is played by Van Johnson. The film is not really a war film, it s more about the flyer's boyhood. After being shot down he tells another flyer all about his boyhood and youthful escapades. Alec as a boy of about 14 years is played by Claude Jarman Jr. who was about 13 years old at the time. June Allyson has the role of the "girl next door". She moves away but finds Alec again during World War II. The recall their childhood. Some HBC readers rate the film quite highly.
