Customer Reviews of Life on the Mississippi
Poor quality Life on the Mississippi was a gift for my husband, who loves the story. The disappointment was in the quality of the tape and not the story/movie. We could hardly understand the words due to scratchy/poor quality. We are returning it for a refund...and NO it wasn't a used tape - it was new.
Five Stars just for the beginning
I saw this movie back in a high school english class an frankly I don't remember much of it. But what I do remember is the beginning of this video, which in itself is enough to garner a barrel of laughs. Possibly more than one barrel.
The video starts with a gentleman measuring the depth of a river while travelling on a steamboat. His vocalization of the various depths are hilarious and worth the ... bucks this movie will cost you to purchase. At the very least, rent this movie!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeee FEET.
Captures the humor and authenticity of Twain's tale.
This is a wonderful adaptation of Twain's autobiographical tale of a young man learning the profession of riverboat pilot in the mid-1800s. Young Sam (Clemens) convinces veteran pilot Mr. Bixby to take him on as a "cub" to learn the Mississippi river and become qualified as a pilot (the man who really operates a steamboat, not the captain). Robert Lansing's portrayal of Bixby sets the tone and authenticity of the world of the riverboat pilot, a profession that is as much a calling as the clergy or medicine. Young David Knell does a remarkable job of portraying the well-meaning neophyte who grows from ignorant beginner to seasoned veteran during the course of the story. What makes this movie a joy, though, is the humor and storytelling that made Mark Twain one of America's best-loved authors. A perfect family movie.
