How many have seen Hal Holbrook's specialty act, "Mark Twain Tonight"? Why do think it has never been videotaped? It is a national treasure. Do you, like me, think it should be released?

I think it was televised once or twice, many years ago. Either that or I saw extensive excerpts from somewhere else on TV. It and he are very impressive. Happy Sunday! :) ((hugs))

I've seen it twice. IMO it's the most brilliant piece of acting or showmanship in 3,500 years. I was flipping channels (before channel surfing was invented), and there he was! I thought, "Holy banana, how did they get him to do a TV appearance?" Then I thought, "Wake up, Dodo. He's been dead for 40 years!" That's how convincing it was. It's available from Amazondotcom

If he is still taking this show 'on the road' (he's not dead yet, is he?)...then nobody would pay to go see it if they could rent a video.

It's great material and he really knows how to milk a pause. Which is the way Twain would have liked to see it done, who was a performer himself.
