Huck the white dreamer boy and his faithful black friend Jim pursuing his freedom!!!
28 April 2020
I'm deeply disappointed and upset to see this movie so underrated at IMDB with decreased 6.3 of this immortal Mark Twain's novel, which based in his own experience at Mississippi river as steamboat pilot, I watched this movie at my wanders years on 1976, the story is straightforward a masterpiece where a white boy Huckleberry Finn (the fantastic Eddie Hodges) and a black mature slave Jim (Archie Moore) as a fugitive have countless adventures with a couple of dirty rotten scoundrels running down the river, Tony Randall nickname as King of France in his best role ever (together 7 Faces of Dr. Lao), he is flawless as never seen before, he tries to any means cheating everybody with those polite words, having alongside his obtuse buddy Duke, (Mickey Shawghnessy) when Huck unmask them, henceforth the smart Huck and the faithful Jim never got a single instant of unwinding, they crossing their path to delivery Jim to Sheriff to take the reward of 200 buck for catch him, using a smart language pertaining of native Mississippi, the picture flows easy on clean waters, Huck pursuing his dream to know the world, meanwhile Jim wants just his freedom, the chemistry between them is fully authentic given a dynamic duo finest performance, masterfully directed by the legendary Michael Curtiz!!!

Resume:

First watch: 1976 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-Cable TV-DVD-R / Rating: 8.5
