With Gone With the Wind and Wizard of Oz to his name, the debonair, ever-versatile Victor Fleming should be more heralded. Lo and behold, Film Forum puts on this reappraisal, one inspired by Michael Sragow's bio on a director who minted a fair share of handsome pieces in his day. For one, there's Captain Courageous, a nautical coming-of-age with Spencer Tracy meting out tough love for a 1938 Oscar. Fleming's gusto is all over his oeuvre, whether his early pics for Douglas Fairbanks, Clara Bow, and Gary Cooper or his supreme adaptations of Robert Louis Stevenson.
