Cowboy Wally Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 One brave man has filmed "The Day the Clown Cried" on his own, playing all the roles himself. This movie will never be released, so this enactment may be the closest we will ever come to seeing it. To be candid, I do not have the courage to watch even an enactment of this movie on my own, so I am having a simulwatch viewing of it. Call it cyber hand holding, a virtual group hug, or whatever you want, but I want to watch it, and I will not watch it alone. Thus, the Bonehead Radio Film Review Podcast, this Thursday, August 22 at 8:45 PM CDT. Talkshoe link is here: http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=129911&cmd=tc A little after 8:45, we will all begin watching the movie at the same time, via the you tube playlist of all the parts of the movie at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUv-ZtYzYXY&list=PLV1PxYLX6soiVcaSPcPy6mMVBRPnjJlh5 We will probably comment on the movie as we watch it, but I am not anticipating anything beyond gasps and sobs. Join us if you dare! If you have read this far and still don't know what the Day the Clown Cried is nor why a grown man would refuse to watch a movie alone, you deserve to know that the movie was directed, co-written & co-produced by Jerry Lewis in 1972. It tells the story of a clown in Germany during World War II who is sent to a concentration camp and entertains children on the way to the gas chamber. No, you are not prepared either. Join us!

Cowboy Wally Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Brace yourselves, it's tonight! Do you remember when Mortal Kombat II came out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeDyMJJt9nA Yeah, it's like that, except not in a good way and much, much worse. Join us, if you dare!

Cowboy Wally Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Well, we did it. Big kudos to unclesporkums Here is his youtube channel link: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXcoKOKthK5VVZQgJ4Hdsw Check him out. Subscribe. His insane personal vision allowed me and others to see this movie , which we will not be able to do ever. As soon as Jerry Lewis dies, I have no doubt that the executor of his estate is going to destroy the masters and workprints of this movie. Harry Shearer was right. ""This was the perfect object. This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos, its comedy, are so wildly displaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it is. 'Oh my God!' That's all you can say." Seeing the shadow on the wall is as close as we are going to come. God help us all. Cowboy Wally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 No matter what kind of fortified mansion he lives in, I'm amazed that nobody's just broken into Jerry's house and taken the damn movie. It's SO legendary, you'd expect someone to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Jerry Lewis is pushing 90. Unless his will specifies destroying the movie (and it may) I suspect it'll turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
