Description

Oscar winner Jodie Foster is a "natural-born scene-stealer" as Becky Thatcher in this Oscar-nominated musical adaptation of Mark Twain's classic novel starring redheaded mop-top Johnny Whitaker as the rascally Tom Sawyer. "This charming family film also co-stars Oscar winner Celeste Holm (All About Eve) as tough-loving Aunt Polly. A mischievous orphan with a knack for tall tales, Tom lives with his exasperated aunt in the riverfront town of Hannibal, Missouri. Along with his ragtag best friend Huckleberry Finn (Jeff East) and his fetching sweetheart Becky Thatcher, Tom's life is a series of clever and irrepressible adventures. But when he and Huck witness a crime, Tom must decide if he will risk his life to exonerate town bum Muff Potter (Warren Oates).

    This is a good movie yet I don't feel the characters are old enough... I mean reading the book I pictured everyone a bit older. If you enjoyed this movie I would recommend huckleberry Finn.

  • Good play

    It was okay. The town I live in did the play. I played Tom. I have to say the play is better, really.

  • Why can't this one be rented?

    Having just read the book, I'd love to rent this film, but I'm not interested in watching it over and over again. Can Apple please add the rental option on this title?

    I saw this film as a child and it has stayed with me so strongly that I simply cannot tell whether the story is truth or fiction, it lives in a dreamy in-between. I certainly feel like I grew up with Tom, Huck, and Becky because of the film: they seem as real to me as my other friends from back then. Then again, this could all just be attributed to seeing Jodie Foster on screen for the first time. Either way, I didn't read the books until much later. And although they are better, this movie exists as an equally unique and valuable cultural tome.
