Viewing Notes

Fascinating documentary on Jerry Lewis’ never-released film.  There are clips from what remains of the film, plus behind the scenes footage of Lewis directing.

In an interview done shortly before his death, Lewis says it was “bad work”. Watching some of the cringey clips, I’d probably agree with him.
