The Adventures of Mark Twain, Dismissed by critics as corny and obvious in 1944,
this overlong but sincere biopic looks pretty good when seen today, cliches notwithstanding.
Fredric March, 47 at the time, convincingly plays American author Sam Clemens, aka Mark Twain,
from his early 20s to his death at 75. In typical movie-biography fashion, every single
incident that happens in Twain's life is an INSPIRATION: he hears the depth-indication call
"Mark Twain" while working on a riverboat and his face lights up; he engages in a jumping-
frog contest against Bret Harte (John Carradine) and comes up with his first popular published
story; and so on. Alexis Smith is better than usual in the role of Twain's wife Olivia Langdon,
even keeping a straight face while Twain courts her in Fluent Quotation ("Everybody talks
about the weather but nobody ever does anything about it", he says during a Hollywood-romance
cloudburst). Though the script barely touches upon the dark side of Twain's nature, we are
not spared his financial reverses (brought about by bad investments and his struggle to publish
Ulysses S. Grant's memoirs. The closing sequence, with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn beckoning the
spirit of Mark Twain to heaven as Halley's Comet fills the skies, may seem laughable on
paper, but works quite well on film; even director Irving Rapper expressed amazement
at the effectiveness of this scene!
The Prince and the Pauper is a 1937 film adaptation of the novel of the same name by
Mark Twain. It starred Errol Flynn, twins Billy and Bobby Mauch in the title roles, and Claude Rains.
The film was originally intended to coincide with the coronation of King Edward VIII in 1936.
However, its release was delayed until the following year. The film released on May 8, 1937,
days before the May 12, 1937 coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The second theme
of the final movement of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's violin concerto was drawn from the music
he composed for this film.
In Tudor England, two boys are born on the same day in the most different circumstances
imaginable. Tom (Billy Mauch) is the son of vicious criminal John Canty (Barton MacLane),
while Edward VI (Bobby Mauch) is a prince and the heir of King Henry VIII of England
(Montagu Love). One grows up in poverty, hungering for something better for himself
and his family, the other in isolated luxury, with a strong curiosity about the outside world.
When they are youngsters, they meet and are astounded by their striking resemblance to
each other. As a prank, they exchange clothes, but the Captain of the Guard (Alan Hale, Sr.)
mistakes the prince for the pauper and throws him out of the palace grounds.
Tom is unable to convince anybody except for the Earl of Hertford (Claude Rains) of his
identity. Everyone else is convinced that he is mentally ill. When Henry VIII dies, Hertford
threatens to expose Tom unless he does as he is told. Hertford also blackmails the Captain
into searching for the real prince to eliminate the dangerous loose end.
Meanwhile, Edward finds an amused, if disbelieving protector in Miles Hendon (Errol Flynn).
An attempt to assassinate the boy on the instigation of the Earl of Hertford, who fears
for his power if the real king lives, changes Hendon's opinion of Edward's story. With
Hendon's help, Edward manages to re-enter the palace just in time to interrupt the coronation
ceremony and prove his identity. Tom is made a ward of the new king, Hertford is banished
for life, and Hendon is rewarded for his services.

"William T. Stromberg has become almost uniquely identified with the performance and recording of neglected
classic and B-movie film scores. A composer in his own right mainly of film music, he has also devoted much time
to the unearthing and restoration of numerous forgotten film scores. Several of his recordings have been premiere
efforts of complete films scores, such as the 1954 classic The Egyptian by Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Newman.
Other recordings excise repetitive cues while offering virtually the complete score, such as the 1944 Max Steiner
music for The Adventures of Mark Twain. Stromberg has often been aided in the restoration process by film composer
John Morgan. The two have teamed up in a series of recordings for the Naxos label (and its sister label Marco Polo)
that have involved film scores by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Hugo Friedhofer, Hans J. Salter, Frank Skinner, Dimitri
Tiomkin, and many others. Stromberg has also recorded pure symphonic music; but here again he has often
delved into reviving music long forgotten, such as the Symphonies No. 1 and No. 2 by Meredith Willson, a
composer chiefly known for his popular musical The Music Man. Beside Naxos and Marco Polo, Stromberg
has recorded for VCE, Tribute Film Classics, and RCA.
William T. Stromberg was born in Oceanside, CA, on May 23, 1964. He was precocious: at 11 he was studying
composition and soon after started providing scores for amateur films. He took private lessons in conducting
and orchestration after his 1982 relocation to Hollywood.
Stromberg soon began composing scores for films, and among his earlier efforts were a pair from 1991, Oddball
Hall and Edge of Honor. Among his more memorable projects was the score for the 1995 documentary Trinity and
Beyond, which he recorded in 1997 with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra for VCE. By the mid-'90s Stromberg was
immersed in the restoration and recording of film scores for Marco Polo. Among the first releases in the series
were a pair of 1997 releases: a Hugo Friedhofer collection that included music from The Rains of Ranchipur (1955)
and two Korngold scores, Another Dawn (1937) and Escape Me Never (1935). Stromberg was also exploring
concert music with several Ferde Grof� albums, including the 2002 Naxos release of Death Valley Suite.
His newer recordings include the 2007 CD of Korngold's The Sea Hawk (1940) and Deception (1946),
also on Naxos."
