Tom Sawyer (1907) was a silent film based on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer made by Kalem Studios in New York City, and was the first time Mark Twain's character had appeared on film.
Very little else is currently known about the film, other than the screenplay was written by Gene Gauntier, the first of over 300 screenplays she eventually wrote.
Famous quotes containing the word sawyer:
“But that’s always the way; it don’t make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person’s conscience ain’t got no sense, and just goes for him anyway.... It takes up more room than all the rest of a person’s insides, and yet ain’t no good, nohow. Tom Sawyer thinks the same.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
