Anecdotes
The scene in which Clemens receives an honorary degree from Oxford University in 1907 was the re-creation of an event that C. Aubrey Smith, who plays the Oxford chancellor, actually witnessed.

Gaffes
The film first shows Mark Twain wearing his famous white suit as the author speaks to his wife Livy, while she is on her deathbed. Twain began wearing the suit only after he had finished mourning his wife's death, at which time he swore he would wear only white for the rest of his life. (Michael Shelden recounted this in the opening of his biography, "Mark Twain: Man in White -- The Grand Adventure of His Final Years.")

Very enjoyable biography

In spite of the discrepancies it was a fine movie. I have read most of the biographical works and this gives a wonderful picture of who Mark Twain really is. It captures his love of his wife & family very nicely. I recommend it to all that enjoy Mark Twain. The acting was better than average for that period in movie making.
