The 1931 Paramount film, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” starred Junior Durkin as Huck Finn, Jackie Coogan as Tom Sawyer, and Mitzi Green as Becky Thatcher. Directed by Norman Taurog, it follows Huck's decision to run away from "civilizing" influences, leading to a raft adventure down the Mississippi with Tom Sawyer and Jim, the escaped slave. The film was made as a follow-up to Paramount's successful 1930 adaptation of Tom Sawyer, which featured the same main cast.
