"Captains Courageous" Connection to "The Catcher in the Rye"?
Hi! In J. D. Salinger's novel "The Catcher in the Rye", the prostitute Sunny tells Holden Caulfield that he looks like an actor who plays the brother of Melvyn Douglas in a movie where this character falls off a boat. I've been trying to figure out which movie and actor she's referring to.
My research suggests that the movie might be "Captains Courageous" (1937), starring Freddie Bartholomew and Melvyn Douglas. In this film, Freddie Bartholomew plays Harvey Cheyne, a spoiled boy who falls off an ocean liner and is rescued by portuguese fishermen. Although Harvey is not Melvyn Douglas's brother in the movie, he is a young boy who falls off a boat, which matches part of Sunny's description.
Could this be the movie and actor Sunny was referring to? Does anyone have any other ideas or information that could help solve this mystery?
