Huckleberry Finn (1920)


Paramount-Artcraft Pictures
Directed by William D. Taylor
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Huck Finn runs away to his island in the river to make his own kingdom. Soon he is joined by fellow runaway slave, Jim, and his friend Tom Sawyer. They build a raft and pick up a couple of crooks. Their "adventures" consist of swindling townsfolk at a local theater and planning to rob some kids of their inheritance money. Huck has second thoughts and returns home. Lewis Sargent is an unconvincing Huck with his painted-on freckles and gap-toothed smile.
