Huck and Tom

Huck and Tom is an American comedy drama film directed by William Desmond Taylor and released in 1918. The scenario by Julia Crawford Ivers is derived from the novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Robert Gordon and Jack Pickford reprise the title roles from the 1917 version of Tom Sawyer, a successful adaptation that was also directed by Taylor.

Upon its March 1918 release, Huck and Tom received lukewarm reviews. Variety called it acceptable and Photoplay described it as not so fascinating, being an unbelievable mixture of boyish fancy and Brady melodrama.Like many American films of the time, Huck and Tom was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required cuts of, in Reel 1, the stabbing of a man in the back, robbing the dead man, in Reel 2, a vision of the stabbing of the man, and, in Reel 4, two scenes of Injun Joe prying open a window. ........
