Title Details
Description
Hank Morgan, the quintessential self-reliant New Englander, brings to King Arthur's Age of Chivalry the "great and beneficent" miracles of 19th-century engineering and American ingenuity. Through the well-staged collision of past and present, Twain exposes the fallibility of both utopias, destroying the old myth of romantic ideals as well as the contemporary faith in scientific "progress." Show-business icon Carl Reiner narrates this hilarious comedy of social satire, romantic fantasy, and incongruity that stands as a central document in American intellectual history.
