Movie Reviews of Tom Sawyer
Movie Review: Overlooked childhood classic
Summary: 5 Stars
No child should be deprived of having this film as part of his/her memory. I discovered the film when I was nine, and I was in love with it from that moment on. I read the book at the same age and so went through a stage of daydreaming about free bootin' and playing hooky. The songs are surprisingly good in this film. All of them are catchy, memorable and have clever lyrics. I don't know why this movie is so obscure today, seeing as how it has a stellar cast including Celeste Holme as Aunt Polly, Johnnie Whitaker as Tom, and a young Jodie Foster as Becky. Whitacker is perfect in the role with his wild red hair. I especially love the famous white washing scene, which, in this movie, has a great song called "Gratifaction" to go along with it. The film is full of laughs, too, due to great supporting characters like the lovable drunk, Muff Potter, the local busybody, the Widow Douglas, and the trouble-making Huck Finn. Thisnmovie so encapsulates the carefree mood of childhood that it brings tears of nostalgia to my eyes just to watch it. If you want to escape to an idyllic world of barefoot summers and childhood infatuations, watch the musical version of Tom Sawyer!Movie Review: Best Tom Sawyer
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't add much to the other reviews. But Jody Foster is quite cute as Becky Thatcher. Although the lovely songs are by the Sherman brothers, the incidental music is by some guy named John Williams - one of his early efforts. Completists might want to make a note of that. Therefore the music played when Tom is running through the field (mentioned in another review) is John Williams'.Movie Review: Tom Sawyer/musical
