The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938)
Passed 11 Feb 1938 • Adventure, Drama, Family • 1h 31m
Sentiment rules in this version of the Twain tale of boyhood in 1850 Missouri, reasonably faithful except for minor details and making the character Jim a boy instead of a man. Includes the whitewash episode, puppy love, the graveyard murder, the boys' running away to Jackson's Island, the salvation of Muff Potter, and the cave adventure.
