There's an obscure 1994 book by Clyde Haupt that discusses film and video adaptations of Huckleberry Finn. It is reviewed (by me) on the Mark Twain Forum web site. It's a frustrating book, but it does include a lot of information about the various adaptations. It's certainly true that no adaptation of HF is worthy of the book. Once you get beyond that, however, there's a lot of interest in examining these adaptations for what they tell us about the culture that created them, as well as for discussing why Mark Twain's HF is great and "Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn" usually isn't.
