    You'll love this story about Mark Twain's life.

    Frederic March plays the part of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (better known as Mark Twain) and does a great job in the lead role. In typical Hollywood style, they took a lot of liberties with not only the truth but the time frame, therefore it was more a work of fiction rather than f...( read more)act. Still, it was a very enjoyable film.

    This film is full of lovely visuals and special effects, but Fredric March as Mark Twain is excellent. My only real problem with the film is its tendency to wax melodramatic every once in a while; other than that, great movie.
