The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
HIS GREATEST TRIUMPH!
Directed by Richard Thorpe
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A spirited, picturesque adventure of a boy's escape from constraint and discovery of freedom on the Mississippi River, suffused with period charm and youthful optimism.
Huckleberry Finn, a rambunctious boy adventurer chafing under the bonds of civilization, escapes his humdrum world and his selfish, plotting father by sailing a raft down the Mississippi River.
