TOM BROWN'S SCHOOLDAYS was the second film version of Thomas Hughes's semiautobiographical novel. John Howard Davies, who'd previously essayed the title role in OLIVER TWIST, stars as first-year Rugby student Tom Brown. In his efforts to adjust to boarding-school life, Tom must contend with the calculated cruelties of all-around bully Flashman (John Forrest). One of the boy's few allies is new schoolmaster Doctor Arnold (Robert Newton), who believes that discipline can be tempered with kindness, a "radical" notion so far as his colleagues are concerned. This 1951 version of TOM BROWN'S SCHOOLDAYS remakes the 1940 Hollywood adaptation with authentically British surroundings.
