The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1937)
Director: Norman Taurog
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Extraordinarily handsome to look at, with exquisite Technicolor camerawork by Wong Howe and some imaginative designs (especially the cave sequence by William Cameron Menzies). Has its longueurs, but it does capture the sense of a lazy Mississippi summer and much of the spirit of the book, with Jory making a superbly villainous Injun Joe.Author: TM
