AllMovie

For one of its two 1958 entries in the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Yugoslavia selected a well-made but rather conservative children's film. Dobro Morje (The Good Sea) is all about a young boy who befriends a kindly fisherman. When his new friend is victimized by an evil landowner, the youthful hero comes to the rescue. It's anti-capitalist propaganda, to be sure, but done with such good spirits that it's difficult to dislike. A dubbed, abbreviated version of Dobro Morje was prepared for American TV syndication in the early 1970s.
