Young Tom Edison ( 1940 )
"This is a story of triumph.. the triumph of an American boy, who had courage, imagination and faith."
Overview
Inventor Thomas Edison's boyhood is chronicled and shows him as a lad whose early inventions and scientific experiments usually end up causing disastrous results. As a result, the towns folk all think Tom is crazy, and creating a strained relationship between Tom and his father. Tom's only solace is his understanding mother who believes he's headed to do great things.
