Review:
All the acting was superb. The sets were…well, it was 1960. But the script! To hear Mark Twain so joyfully transposed, and so artfully accurate for the film characters and actors! What a straight, simple joy to see this film, made to entertain and doing it proudly, with all concerned — actors and director mainly — working on the same premise. And tell me Tony Randall didn’t go home whistling after every day on the set! But this was Mark Twain done proud. How many other great writers so easily lend themselves to film scripts? What a writer! What fun he had with phrases, sayings and words. And how well all that was put to use in this movie. And PS Archie Moore was a great heavyweight. Written by: greenfrog

Such an Interesting Story
The lady who played the maid is Josephine Hutchinson she also played in Little house on the prairie. Episode called if I should die before I wake!!
But i liked it more …
I've Read The Book In 6th Grade and Answered Alot Of Questions So Yes It Is A Big Difference
At first I thought it was racist and dated and stupid.
By the end, the lead actors made me really care about the characters.
The movie also has Tony Randall, Buster Keaton, Andy Devine, Royal Dano and John Carradine.
Archie Moore, the actor who played Jim, was also a great boxer. He was the longest reigning World Light Heavyweight Champion of all time. Having held the Title from December, 1952 until May, 1962. So he was still the Champ when they filmed this movie. He was also a trainer for a short time after he retired. He trained the boxers Muhammad Ali, George Forman and James Tillis.
Huckleberry finn looks like a evil kid. Louie CK brought me here.
Does anyone know a newer version?
This movie was made in 1960. It's not a bad movie, in fact it's pretty good. But it is only vaguely related to the original book by Twain.
what year did this come out (please respond)

Hahah😂❤
That would be cool if someone would teach Hollywood how to make movies again, but that would mean they’d have to find actors and writers who actually had talent.
The opening scene does not start with the servant Jim..It’s different pls don’t prefer this..👀

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Missouri, Missisipi , Sweet Classic Film.
Those creaking shoes! I feel such a pity for poor Huck! This is amazing finding of scenarists! Huck is my favorite, the kindest soul! Both books were my favorite when I was a kid, and I always thought of Huck how he can be so wise as a grown up.
Hola, sera posible subirla en espaol? mis padres de 70 años cada uno, quieren verla, pero no saben ingles y tampoco esta con subtitulos.
Awesome movie
Who's up for a 2020 remake with more details?
I've been looking for this version for a while. Haven't saw it in over 20 years!
This movie makes me want to read the book to see the differences.
The Night Of The Hunter (1955) seems much closer, in spirit to Mark Twain despite not being based on his stories.
