Mark Twain
(DVD)

Samuel Clemens rose from a hardscrabbled boyhood in the backwoods of Missouri to become, as Mark Twain, America's best-known and best-loved author. This remarkable film tells the story of Twain's extraordinary life - full of rollicking adventure, stupendous success and crushing defeat, hilarious comedy and almos unbearable tragedy. With fascinating interviews of Hal Holbrook, Arthur Miller, and William Styron, the story is told primarily through the words of Twin himself, so viewers of all ages can be personally introduced to this compelling yet contradictory genius, who said with some justification, "I am not an America, I am the American." DVD 220 minutes DVD is 2 sided. Other siminar DVD is under VC 818 Burns
