The Adventures of Mark Twain

Frederic March

Creaker from 1944. The film hits many of the high notes of Twain's life but was done so simple-mindedly that it frequently made me cringe. Artificial (studio-bound) in the extreme. Cartoon-like scenes. This is exactly the kind of film the Italian neo-realists were rebelling against.
