The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Others have stated very eloquently how good this film is. I first saw it as a child on TV ages ago. I don't know if it was the 77 minute version, but the memory of it always stayed with me. Now I can see it in a beautiful blu ray version, that looks like one is looking at a film print. It's every bit as good as I remembered, and then some. The tone, the production design, the acting, the direction are all wonderful. Tommy Kelly is the personification of Tom Sawyer--mischievous, yet ultimately kind and loving. May Robson's aunt Polly is both stern and lovingly determined to raise Tom right. All the other supporting players are also well done. I love the prologue from Mark Twain about remembering how we were. Thanks for reminding us.
