Did Haley's comet come the same day as Mark Twain was born then again the day he died as claimed in a movie about him?

No. Comets don't happen on a date, or in a week; they are visible for several weeks, or for months. Halley's Comet was visible for weeks before its perihelion on November 16, 1835; Samuel Clemens (whose pen name was Mark Twain) was born on November 30.
The comet's next perihelion on April 20, 1910 does match, with remarkable closeness, Twain's death the next day.
