Mark Twain's Roughing It

Even success hasn't made Samuel Clemens (James Garner) a happy man. Instead of devoting his talent to "serious matters" he's wasted them on yarns - as Mark Twain. Now, asked to speak to Bryn Mawr's graduating class of 1891, he's filled with dread. His daughter Susy is a student and he hopes to make her proud.

Sifting through "passions, obsessions, pretensions, failures, and successes," he relates the heart-warming, thrilling, and "somewhat truish" story of how a man named Samuel Clemens became known to the world as Mark Twain. Through his eyes, history truly comes to life as never before.
