This outstanding movie from 1938 is still relevant and can stand as excellent entertainment for today' audiences. Great for young and old there are thrills and sadness combined with comedy and great characters. Not a point is missed in Norman Taurog's direction--he was a specialist with children--and the timing is superb. The newly restored color is excellent as is James Wong Howe's camera-work and William Cameron Menzies set designs. The children's acting is totally convincing and Tommy Kelley as Tom Sawyer is great. The film has probably once of the best ending tag lines of all movies. Once you see this movie you'll never forget it.
