Hal Holbrook plays Mark Twain, expounding upon Man, "the reasoning animal." Holbrook still performs MTT these days, but requires considerably less makeup.

The words in this scene come mostly from Twain's 1903 essay, "The Damned Human Race" and other essays, such as "Papers of the Adam Family".

  • Does anybody know where I can buy this. I looked for the 1967 version and I couldn't find it.

  • Amazon and several sellers on eBay both have it. Search for Mark Twain Tonight DVD. On eBay , leave "Include title and description" unchecked.

  • Is this on DVD?

  • Yes, it's still available for about US$25 and often found on eBay for less.

  • Hal Holbrook is a national treasure. He has been in so many films and his roles over the years have almost always been thought-provoking. And he IS Mark Twain.

  • This is great! I also do some impersonations of Mark Twain, check out my channel :)

  • Thank you Hal Holbrook!

  • @jjbb81 Are you being sarcastic? It's called make-up.

  • google...

  • there is no way this was made in 1967. If so, Hal looks pretty old for being only 42.

  • HAL 3000

  • but not a proper psychiatrist
