the graphics are weak, using book illustrations to illustrate much of the narrative, they didn't even pick a wide variety, nor the best, but instead we see some of the same sub-standard illustrations over & over. The voice of "Mark Twain" sounds like a geriatric Forrest Gump. And the explanations of his life and decisions are superficial, glossing over the deep contradictions of this intelligent and tormented genius. Still, the interviews with Twain scholars are informative, and one's appetite is whetted to learn more of the this influential american classic.

this movie was a great learning expeirience for me because it was very discriptive and told me about the amazing adventures of mark twain. it shared his events in life and told about his characters, overall i enjoyed this film very much

I purchased this because the local school library only had it in VHS. Money well spent. I learned much I did not know about this remarkable man, and can see the presentation holding the interest of a high school student.

Not the picture I was hoping for. I'm still searching for the biography where Sam tells about being born on the tail of Haley's Commet.

Been searching for it for years and about to give up!
