The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1960)

Based on the novel by Mark Twain (born Samuel Clemens) (1st ed. 1885).

Huck, a young boy, flees from home taking a slave with him. Huck is used by a duo of crooks in a fraud.

A nice film, well acted and funny. Some people complain that it is a bad adaptation of the novel. Well, a film is a film and a novel is a novel. Neville Brand in this film bears an extraordinary resemblance to Nick Nolte.

Rating: 63 (second viewing, first with original sound, rating unchanged)
