"Mark Twain Tonight!" Hal Holbrook is supurb in his one-man show performance that you could swear you were listening to Twain himself. This began as a Broadway show in the 1960's and was filmed as a CBS special in 1967. Yet you'd never know it, because the humor, which is more than a century old, is still laugh-out-loud funny today.
