Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson
Description
America's magnificent storyteller Mark Twain has crafted an intriguing and classic tale of mistaken identity, deceit, and murder. At the center of it all is a slave woman who cradle-switches her master's son with her own light-skinned baby...a child, though raised as white, who never fulfills her hopes and dreams for him as he becomes an arrogant and cruel man. Acclaimed actor Ken Howard (Crossing Jordan, The White Shadow) stars as the local lawyer unraveling the mystery. Also starring Steven Webber.
