The Adventures of Mark Twain

Warner Brothers had high hopes with this lively film biography of America's most beloved author/humorist, casting Academy Award winner Fredric March in the lead. With a first-rate supporting cast (including Alexis Smith, Alan Hale, Donald Crisp, John Carradine as Bret Harte, and C. Aubrey Smith), strong production values, a flavorful Max Steiner score, and "Now Voyager" director Irving Rapper helming the production, the studio was confident the film would be a box office smash, and 'Best Picture' Oscar contender.
