  • Cedric Hardwicke and Freddie Bartholomew star in this adaptation of Thomas Hughes’s famous novel. Oscar nominated director Robert Stevenson (Mary Poppins) gets help from a majestic musical score by three­time Oscar nominee Anthony Collins (Sunny, Irene) cinematography by Oscar nominated Nicholas Musuraca (I Remember Mama, Cat People), and costume design from Oscar winner Edward Stevenson (The Facts of Life). Need more convincing? The film’s art direction was by seven time Oscar nominee Darrell Silvera (Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons). To say this film has an impressive pedigree is an understatement!

    Freddie Bartholome was one of the best child actors in that era. His parents spent all his money. By the time he got out of his teens he was broke. It’s a wonderful thing to see his movies. Thanks for sharing.
    Loved watching it ❤

    Out of the four screen adaptations of this novel, this is the ONLY one which addresses the fact that the story is supposed to last six years.
    None of them are perfect, but the big fault with this one is the silly feud between Tom and East. That was totally made up for this film, as was Tom being shunned for being a tell-tale.

      I also just watched a version of Tom Brown's School Days made in 1916. It was a silent film, on the channel - BFI. In that one Tom was there for ten years. It seemed to focus on Tom's fights, and the Dr. Arnold's daughter's crush on Tom, and the reunion at the end between Tom, his sister and their Father, and his sister's son Arthur who was Tom's new boy at school.

    A superb film, the values of life taught then, still apply today, unfortunately the ethos of "integrity" is being diluted today for gain and profit. I hope some of our young people will try to remember that a successful life, is not measured by wealth, but by your contribution to mankind.
