Jerry Lewis – Ein Tollpatsch gewinnt die Herzen: Directed by Gregory Monro. With Jerry Lewis, Martin Scorsese, Sean Hayes, Pierre Étaix. Jerry Lewis: The Man Behind the Clown chronicles the remarkable life and genius work of one of the most iconic and incomparable comic performers and filmmakers of our time.

“Being a Telethon host for so many years obscured Lewisu0026#39;s colorful career. Regretfully the American audience had to wait for the comedianu0026#39;s late years to rediscover his work. Better late than never. I have to agree with Marty (Scorsese) when he says that the french adoration became a kind of joke in the US, but hey, I got news for you, the french were doing the right thing. Did Americans missed their rendezvous with Jerry Lewis ? Feels like they did once the end credits appears on the screen. Whether you like Lewis or not you cannot deny this film is a u0026quot;Must Seeu0026quot;. From the very first minutes it grabs you until the very (moving) end u0026quot;NO SPOILERSu0026quot; here. Youu0026#39;ll laugh out loud, with nostalgia youu0026#39;ll remember your childhood, youu0026#39;ll enjoy, youu0026#39;ll learn a great deal of the french view point. All in all youu0026#39;ll feel dizzy but fulfilled with so many great footage, but Gregory Monro does better in one hour than any other film has done previously. During one of his Qu0026amp;A the french filmmaker said he made it with u0026quot;heart and passionu0026quot;. That quote might just sum up u0026quot;The man behind the clownu0026quot;, a passionate yet joyful documentary on the great Jerry Lewis. Yes our Jerry.”
