Movie: Tom Sawyer

 

There can’t be many of us who don’t know Tom Sawyer (even if we’ve never actually read the book). Many will know it from the countless television and movie adaptations of this Mark Twain ‘classic’.

One of the iconic scenes takes place in the schoolroom when Tom takes the blame for something his would-be sweetheart Becky does.

Naturally, Tom is on the receiving end of a whupping.

This movie version was made in 1973. It was produced by Reader’s Digest and is available on streaming services and DVD.

Johnny Whitaker played Tom Sawyer and  Jodie Foster Becky Thatcher

Picture and video credit: Reader’s Digest.
