HAND-TINTED PHOTO
TOMMY KELLY AS TOM
|
All the images on this page were shot
during the filming of Selznick International's 1938
Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and were released as part
of the movie's publicity campaign. The last three in the
sequence show off-screen moments.
Appearing in these photos are, in order of
appearance: Tommy Kelly (Tom Sawyer), May Robson (Aunt
Polly), David Holt (Sid Sawyer), Jackie Moran (Huckleberry
Finn), Ann Gillis (Becky Thatcher), Olin Howland (Mr.
Dobbins), Mickey Rentschler (Joe Harper), Walter Brennan
(Muff Potter), Victor Jory (Injun Joe), and Philip Hurlic
(Little Jim). Presumably Hurlic's character was identified
in the credits as "Little Jim" to avoid confusion with the
character Jim in Huck Finn. The shot of him, Kelly
and Moran together, despite differences in color and
clothes ("Huck" is out of costume), shows the three boys
together in a way that MT's novel never does.
