Hal Holbrook.

Originally broadcast as a CBS Television Network special on March 6, 1967.

Hal Holbrook's landmark one-man show is most startling in the freshness of Twain's stinging commentary on politics, the art of lying, religion, patriotism, slavery and man's notion that he is the Creator's pet.
