Claude Jarman, Jr., sporting a mustache and a spiffy jacket and hat, gets ready to ride a ramp while Sam McDaniel provides the drum roll. A scene from MGM’s 1947 World War II drama, High Barbaree. Jarman, best known for The Yearling, is  the boyhood incarnation of High Barbaree’s lead — a US Navy pilot played by Van Johnson. The title refers to the name of Johnson’s character’s “flying boat” bomber.
