    My favorite scene in this film is in the restaurant. Peck sits down to the first solid meal he's had in too many days. His pleasure is boundless and he promptly cleans the plate and orders more of the same. If you've ever been more than politely hungry, you can relate. Every bite is sublime and the satisfaction is intoxicating.

      My late husband worked with Gregory Peck on a film back in the mid 70’s, one weekend the phone rang and I found myself speaking to the man himself… that beautiful velvet voice , I will never forget, (unlike me, I was rendered almost speechless) !such a gentle mannered charming man .
      I did get to meet him before he went back to the States and, YES, he was very handsome. 😊

      I love the phrase "...politely hungry ..." Hunger is not polite, but people are compelled to be so.
      Great movie, but I have to say the original Mark Twain story was so funny I almost wet myself. Try reading "Cecil Rhodes And The Shark," it's the same humorous vein.

Unfortunately gone are the days when they made movies like this, just straight , clean family movies and no torrid sex scenes. Gregory Peck was indeed a truly great actor and his movies were always great too. I can truly say, those were the good old days as far as movie making was concerned.

In British detective shows, the people all look much more natural instead of having perfect bodies and perfect teeth, etc. And, much better scripts without depending on shoot-outs and beating people up. And, no, I'm not a big fan of Britain, but they do some things quite well.

      Eventually after scrolling through the comments, wondering does anybody understand the actual meaning and depth of the movie. Luckily we found one! Yes indeed, the society is completly hypnotised by this silly money game. As Rudolf Steiner (founder of Anthroposophy )called it 'deep economic sleep'. To make people move around you have to wave money at them. Good example: Earthquake in Turkey, forest burning, hungry people, etc... and what do they ask for...money first..or nobody will lift a finger. All the complaints of life is thanks to people themselves. This movie showed it very well.

    Today it's Nov. 8,2018, I was cruising on the TH-cam, found this movie. The story I have loved very much when I was middle high school boy of 13 or 14, In Tokyo Japan, Mark Twain's story translated into Japanese. I laughed, read again, and laugh again so many times. and somehow forgotten the book or the story. I did not know the story became the movie. After 70 years later, in the USA where I live now, found the movie which I did not know it's exist. It's a joy to go back to this Old humor story by Twain. I am having a happy day

    An interesting fact is that this movie (along with many others at the time) showcased "British culture" to a curious American public. Feelings of alliance , commonality and jocular humor between the British and Americans was strongly promoted post WW2 and during the cold war .

      Yes, but he’s run a close second by Jane Griffiths and Ann Gudrun aka Gudrun Ure.

    I was 9 years old when I first saw this movie in 1955, and I remember most of it from that time. What a great movie it was then, and now that I have seen it for the second time, it has not lost any of its intrigue or glamour. Thank you for posting this old gem.

    I remember watching this when I was a kid. I never knew it was filmed in 1954. I was born in 2001 and probably watched it when I was like 9

    “blithering, blundering, bullet-nosed, block-headed, pot belly ham, bistard, jackass!” is my new favorite insult!
