Holbrook/Twain: An American Odyssey is a 2014 American documentary film directed by Scott Teems about actor Hal Holbrook's six decades performing his one-man show Mark Twain Tonight! The film was released in 2019. The idea for the documentary came from Dixie Carter, Holbrook's wife. It was shot in black and white. Mark Twain Tonight! was the longest-running one-man performance in theatre history. Hal Holbrook performed the show from 1954 to 2017 when he announced his retirement. Director Scott Teems, who had worked with Holbrook and Dixie Carter on That Evening Sun, interviewed Holbrook, family members, fellow actors, and Twain scholars to go behind the scenes to reveal the challenges and rewards of life on the road. Mark Twain Tonight! garnered a Tony Award and Emmy Award for Holbrook but took its toll on the actor and his family. The film captures Holbrook's honest assessment of the show and its effects on him, his loved ones, and his fans. Fellow actors weigh in on Holbrook's skill and influence. Performing in all 50 states and 20 countries, Holbrook performed as Twain behind the Iron Curtain and in the Deep South during the unrest of the Civil Rights Movement. His recollections and descriptions of events reveal a tumultuous and triumphant legacy. More information...
