The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Left behind by his evil father who's gone into town to ransom him from the benevolent widow Douglas, Huck (Mickey Rooney) stages evidence of his own murder, in MGM's The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, 1939.

Huck (Mickey Rooney) scrambles in from just having learned he won't be promoted at school, help from Jim (Rex Ingram), then covering up with the widow Douglas (Elizabeth Risdon) and her crankier sister Miss Watson (Clara Blandick), early in MGM's The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, 1939.

Having sneaked into town disguised as a girl, Huck (Mickey Rooney) arrives just in time to rescue Jim (Rex Ingram) from a lynch mob, the two then heading down river, hoping to reach Illinois, in MGM's simplified version of Mark Twain's The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, 1939.

Mickey Rooney is Mark Twain's classic troublemaker who helps a runaway slave (Rex Ingram) escape to the North.
