Adventures of Huck Finn (Courtney B. Vance)

[GorensGirl]

Just wanted to see if anyone here has watched the 1994 version of The Adventures of Huck Finn. It stars Elijah Wood as Huck and Courtney as the former slave, Jim, and is very well done. I watched it prior to watching L&O: CI and now I want to go back and watch it again to see Courtney's performance. As I remember he did a great job, especially during the heartbreaking climax, where Huck is injured and Jim risks his own freedom to get him to safety. Vance has a beautiful line, "Don't cry for me, Mr. Finn!" that just about makes you cry.

I have watched this film a number of times GG as I found it most enjoyable and, as you said, lump in the throat. I couldn't watch it now without thinking about Frodo Baggins!
