This remarkable program tells the story of Mark Twain's extraordinary life - full of rollicking adventure, stupendous success and crushing defeat, hilarious comedy and almost unbearable tragedy. With fascinating interviews of Hal Holbrook, Arthur Miller, William Styron and many others, the story is told primarily through the words of Twain myself, so viewers of all ages can be personally introduced to this compelling yet contradictory genius, who said with some justification, "I am not an American, I am the American." Directed by Ken Burns. DVD features: Making of the program; Interview Outages; Mark Twain Quotes and Photographs; Behind-the-Scenes; and "A Conversation with Ken Burns." .
