    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The 'Julia Belle Swain' is a steam-powered stern wheeler operating out of La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA as of 2015. Designed and built in 1971 by Capt. Dennis Trone, the 'Julia Belle' was the last boat built by Dubuque Boat & Boiler Works of Dubuque, Iowa. The boat's steam engines were built in 1915 by the Gillett and Eaton Company and originally installed on the central wheel ferryboat City of Baton Rouge. The engines have logged well over a million miles. The steamer was featured prominently in this movie (as the "River Queen") and in its sequel Huckleberry Finn (1974).

      Injun Joe leaps out of the courtroom window and lands on the ground. When he gets up and starts to run, the covering used to hide whatever soft surface he landed on flips up for a second.

      Becky Thatcher: It's so nice being engaged.

      Tom Sawyer: Why, sure. When me and Amy Lawrence was engaged, we used to go...

      Becky Thatcher: Oh, Tom! So, I'm not the first one you've been engaged to. Philanderer!

      Tom Sawyer: What?

      Becky Thatcher: Well, that's what you are.

      Tom Sawyer: Yeah, but what does it mean?

      Becky Thatcher: I'm not sure. But, even if I did know I wouldn't tell you!

      [Becky Thatcher began to walking away from him]

    DVD This movie now !
    I love this version of the Tom Sawyer Story. I watched this movie as a kid and will still watch it today. Jodie Foster is really cute as Becky Thatcher. This movie was made and financed by Reader Digest but as I have seen it is now under ownership by MGM/UA Home Video and only available on the slowly decaying VHS format. Hey, MGM, get this movie digitally upgraded to DVD with all the bells and whistles digitally upgraded beyond what they originally were. DVD is the soon to be only video format and this movie needs to be on it. I also would like to see the musical sequel about Huck Finn done the same way.
