The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a 1960 film directed by Michael Curtiz. Based on the famous Mark Twain novel of the same name, it was the third sound film version of the story and the second filmed by MGM. The film also boasts several firsts - it was the first adaptation of Huckleberry Finn to be filmed in Cinemascope and Technicolor, and the first film to star Eddie Hodges and former boxer Archie Moore in leading roles (as Huck and Jim). Tony Randall also appeared in the film (and got top billing) and Buster Keaton had a bit role in what proved to be his final film for his old studio, MGM.
Some scenes in the film were shot on the Sacramento River, which doubled for the Mississippi River.
