Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn Collection
Early 1970s adaptations of Mark Twain's classic novels. Both films were adapted by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, more commonly known as Oscar winning song writers. With Tom Sawyer, the Sherman Brothers made history by becoming the only Americans, ever, to win First Prize at the Moscow Film Festival (1973). While criticized for not being faithful to the novels, the films are notable for the stars that appear in the cast.
