‘The Day the Clown Cried,’ funnyman Jerry Lewis’ infamously terrible Holocaust movie, is having a new moment. But you still can’t watch it.
By Andrew Lapin August 26, 2024"...Despite Lewis’ best efforts to bury it, “The Day the Clown Cried” remains an object of intense fascination for film buffs, one of the most bizarre & beguiling what-ifs in Hollywood history. ...rumors mounted that it was secretly the worst film of all time & an embarrassed Lewis buried all records related to the movie. Apart from occasional bits of footage leaking online, it’s remained all but unseen.
Now, 53 years later, Lewis’ folly is reentering the public eye. A new German documentary about the movie is premiering...and a Hollywood producer recently announced that he had acquired the rights to the original script... That producer, Kia Jam, says he intends to mount a new version of the film as it was originally intended to be seen..."

Watching this 1932 Yiddish talkie "Uncle Moses" this morning as I volunteered to support a zoom Q&A about it at Yiddish New York in a little while. The usual melodrama and chewing the scenery and impressive sights and sounds of 1930s New York👀

Three Minutes in Poland is Glenn Kurtz's 2015 book about his discovery of a film his grandfather made in 1938 and his efforts to find out more about the people in the film and what happened to them. The film short has now been turned into a longer #documentary film that ruminates on digging deep to learn more. It's streaming on several platforms, including Kanopy. #JewishFilm #Holocaust https://superltd.com/films/three-minutes-a-lengthening
