Recorded in March 1967, this performance captures Hal Holbrooks amazing portrayal of one of Americas greatest authors, Mark Twain. Holbrook, who memorized more than 14 hours of Twains material, becomes the legendary character for 90 minutes with only a white suit, white hair and mustache, a lectern, and that signature cigar. One of the best television performances ever captured on film, this one-man show has lasted for over 40 years. ~ Heather M. Fierst, All Movie Guide
