The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938) Subtitles

Walter Brennan, Jean Porter, Margaret Hamilton, Victor Jory

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. ?Rod Crawford
