This listing is for Huckleberry Finn Musical Adaptation CED Videodisc 1974.
Huckleberry Finn is a 1974 musical film version of Mark Twain's 1884 novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
The movie was produced by Reader's Digest and Arthur P. Jacobs (known for his role in the production of the Planet of the Apes films) and directed by J. Lee Thompson. It stars Jeff East as Huckleberry Finn and Paul Winfield as Jim. The film contains original music and songs, such as "Freedom" and "Cairo, Illinois", by the Sherman Brothers: Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. This film followed the previous year's highly successful Tom Sawyer, based on Twain's 1876 novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, also produced and written by the same team and starring East in the role of Huckleberry Finn.
Synopsis
Huckleberry Finn (Jeff East) is a boy from Missouri living with a kindly widow and her sister who has taken him in. One day his father (Gary Merrill), previously thought dead, shows up because he heard of treasure Huck had found. Huck's father essentially kidnaps the boy, wanting $1,000 for his safe return. Staging his own death, Huck escapes and meets up with the kindly slave Jim (Paul Winfield). Together they travel downriver, in search of Jim's freedom.
See player requirements below. Great if you have this type of player or for display art in your movie room or man cave!
This is a CED (Capacitance Electronic Disc). NOT a laserdisc, dvd, or any other media format. It requires a CED player to watch. I do NOT have a player to test this item. Please be sure that your player and stylus are in perfect working order before assuming that the disc is faulty. Also, be aware that the technology behind the CED results in occasional jumps or skips in playback. Repeating playback more than once tends to help this problem, but if you are a collector of CEDs, you already know this. I will do everything possible to make sure you receive a disc that is enjoyable to watch. Due to the age of these, the caddies may be soiled, have rips or torn spots, have stickers or writing on them, bubbling on artwork, and have fading. For this reason, they are sold as is. Please ask any questions before purchasing.
