{en} Huckleberry Finn [1] [2] (USA, 1931), directed by Norman Taurog, starring Junior Durkin (Huck), Jackie Coogan (Tom), Mitzi Green (Becky), Jackie Searl (Sid), and Clarence Muse (Jim).

The film was made as a follow-up to Paramount's Tom Sawyer, which had been released a year earlier with substantially the same cast and became the top-grossing film of 1930.

Omitting the entire issue of whether or not Huck ought to turn the slave Jim back in after Jim escapes his owners, it concentrated mostly on the comedy in the novel, and turned Jim into the typical comic "darkie" stereotype of that era.
