Quote 1: ¨Is it necessary at times to practice it simply to keep one's sanity, live normally, enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine, as the world around us experiences harrowing upheavals.¨
Quote 2:¨Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment. And this is one of the most important lessons of the outgoing century's´s wide-ranging experiments in good and evil.¨
Quote 3: ¨We see their faces, their eyes. Do we hear their pleas? Do we feel their pain, their agony? Every minute one of them dies of disease, violence, famine. Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.¨

In case you're one of the handful of hardcore movie geeks who have never heard of the mythical film The Day The Clown Cried - directed by alleged funnyman Jerry Lewis - the title of this post pretty much sums-up the synopsis of this never-before-seen movie.
From the BBC: "The Day the Clown Cried told the story of a fictional clown, Helmut Doork, who was thrown into prison and eventually used to entertain children and lead them into the concentration camp gas chambers.
Lewis - at the peak of his career after success in The Nutty Professor and the Bell Boy - directed the film, and was at first very passionate about the idea. But perhaps even he eventually found the subject matter too harrowing.

The film has never been released, with only a handful of people claiming to have seen anything from the production. Lewis himself avoids questions about it during interviews and public appearances."

So the short story goes that Lewis, at the peak of his popularity and prescription drug addiction, got this insane film off the ground, based on a script by Joan O'Brian and Charles Denton, then shot the mess in Sweden, around 1971.

And when I say "mess", I think I'm making a pretty safe assumption here. This is the kind of vanity project that only gets made by the shear force of celebrity popularity - when every sycophantic asshole around them are incapable of uttering any words other than "YES!" and "Genius!".

But what a beautiful mess it must be.

I believe the first time I heard about The Day the Clown Cried was in the pages of FILM THREAT Magazine, sometime around the mid '90s. And then, like most, I heard the legendary interview with comedic legend Harry Shearer on The Howard Stern Show. Shearer had somehow managed to finagle a private screening of the legendary shelved film years ago, and then provided Howard and his listeners with a quick review.

Harry Shearer DiscussesThe Day The Clown Cried on The Howard Stern Show

"With most of these kinds of things, you find that the anticipation, or the concept, is better than the thing itself. But seeing this film was really awe-inspiring, in that you are rarely in the presence of a perfect object. This was a perfect object. This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is. "Oh My God!" -that's all you can say." - Harry Shearer, Spy magazine

And much like the Holocaust, people just can't seem to get over this movie. In fact, I've said many times that there are only three entries on my "bucket list":

1) Witness an actual extraterrestrial event.

2) Fight a gang of midgets to the death.

3) Watch The Day The Clown Cried.

But according to Jerry Lewis, my wish to see his clown-o-caust movie won't come true until at least 2025. As primary owner of the film, buzzkill Jerry enacted some sort of legal stipulation that states that the studio must keep the negative under lock and key until at least that year.

But in the meantime, the jack-toothed limeys over at the BBC have produced a fine little documentary about The Day The Clown Cried, and it contains some recently unearthed production photos and tidbits of new information. Well worth the watch.

You're welcome.

READ The Day The Clown Cried script HERE
It seems some crafty editor, who has yet to come forward, cobbled together some bits and pieces of the film - roughly 30 minutes. A large portion came from the available clips that were shown in the German documentary, along with some title cards and unseen-until-now additional footage. It's a hot, rough mess, but it's well worth a look. Particularly the last 5 minutes. We're talking the Holy Grail of bizarre films here, so how can you not look? Enjoy.
