This movie pretty much ruins Twain's masterpiece, but the worst thing in it, and one of the worst performances I've ever seen, is Harvey Korman's so-called "enactment" of The King. Couldn't anyone tell him he was overacting? Did he think he was on the stage or television? And that awful voice he used made it hard to understand what he was saying or singing, not that it was necessarily worth understanding, of course. I thought the 1960 version of HF was disappointing, but this one is pretty sickening.

it was a great movie there was just to many bad words in it that was all but it was still a outstanding movie it is one of the best movies ever made it was out of this world amazing there is nothing like this it is like one of the best movies you will say now that was a great movie because it was a great movie i know that for a fact it is one of the coolest movies one the planet if you like a musical than you will like this movie a lot it is a hoot it is a sad movie it is just a great movie for the whole family it is a smart movie it is a must see movie for sure i never saw a movie like this before this movie is such a great movie but there is to many bad words in it but it was a movie that i could watch more than once it is that good it is one of the best movies ever made i think and i hope you think the same thing because it is a great movie you will like it a lot everyone

Huge Mark Twain fan. In my opinion this is the very best production of Huckleberry Finn. Great choreography, costumes, and sets. It does have a musical element but it doesn't detract from the production but instead complements it. The movie does not have a juvenile feel to it and could be enjoyed by the entire family but with parental discretion as this deeper cultural issues are explored. If you enjoy this movie you should check out Tom Sawyer. It features cast reprisals and is a bit more lighthearted. Enjoy.

Unnecessary and unsatisfying musical rendering of Mark Twain's classic "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". At least, it captures the genuine friendship between Jeff East (as Huckleberry Finn) and Paul Winfield (as Jim). However, these two performers are much more likable in other projects. Interestingly, Mr. East portrayed "Huck" in 1973's similarly presented re-make of "Tom Sawyer", which was considered the better film. In my opinion, East would have been a better "Tom" than "Huck". Some of the photography is rather nice, especially during the more moody ending. The Sherman-Sherman musical numbers are well below standard. The movie doesn't seem much like the book. Roberta Flack sings "Freedom" to end it all, at last. *** Huckleberry Finn (1974) J. Lee Thompson ~ Jeff East, Paul Winfield, Harvey Korman
