The Adventures of Mark Twain - 1944
Starring Fredric March and Alexis Smith ...
This is truly a March Masterpiece - I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish and its really captured the imagination of Mark Twain ... better known as Samuel Langhorne Clemens that in some ways more than one captured its essence. I find the movie charming, purely autobiographical, timeless, and most importantly the love of American Youth (especially the Boys in the Mississippi River) so dearly.
I know its has some flaws into it - as Charles Tranberg pointed it out when he was our Guest Author that endorse this movie so well and I just wanted to thank him for pointing out this wonderful film that I saw today. This is well versed movie about the folklore of American Boys - writing of tales of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. I just wanted to let you all know that this is so well made and I was overjoyed the acting of Fredric March, Alexis Smith, Alan Hale, and Donald Crisp. Everyone that appeared in this movie was superb and I just can't fathom any other man except Fredric March to take on the role of Mark Twain that born the day Halley Comet came and died 75 years later ... It's kind of ironic to say.
I know that I'm rambling here and there - but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish and I was greatly entertained by it.
I hope some of you watch it today ... it was a pleasant treat to see a Fredric March Masterpiece.
