Casey Stengel could hardly be blamed if he suffered from a severe case of déjà vu last week. He saw baseballs popping out of gloves, skittering between legs, dropping to the ground after third strikes. He watched unearned runs prance home as errors appeared on the Scoreboard almost as often as hits. Casey might well have thought that he was reliving those burlesque days in the early '60s when he managed the infant New York Mets to three consecutive seasons in last place.

...World inspires a sense of déjà vu, it is no accident.

Its unique blend of noble deeds, perilous cave exploration, playing 'hooky,' and otherwise escaping the realities of life--all intermingled with the inescapable wit of Twain--kept this city boy from Detroit fascinated through many of his grade school years. Perhaps, then, it was deja vu--memories of happy hours spent with Tom, Huck Finn, Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly, and company--that motivated me to see what the Reader's Digest, making its debut as a film producer, had done to my old favorite in the process of adapting it into a movie musical...
