Tom Brown School Days (1940) | Full Movie | Cedric Hardwicke | Freddie Bartholomew | Jimmy Lydon

Posted on by womo



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!

  6. 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.
