Adventures of Tom Sawyer [VHS] $9.99 The 1938 version of Adventures of Tom Sawyer appears to be producer David O. Selznick’s dry run for Gone with the Wind, what with its similarities in period, costumes, color scheme and production design (both films shared the services of the great Hollywood art director William Cameron Menzies).
