Description: Here's an ideal and truly unique gift for that Jerry Lewis fan you know ...This is it ... The stuff of legend !This auction is offering the massive 163-page script from the still unreleased 1974film production, THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED , starring late,great comedic geniusof stage, television, recordings and screen, Jerry Lewis. You've probably already heard about this somewhat misguided movie project which attempted to squeeze both humorand sappy pathos out of the premise of a World War II era clown named Helmut Doork,whose task it is to lure little children into Nazi death camp gas chambers. No copy of thefilm has ever surfaced in any form, so this script is your only way of experiencing this epicand highly unusual bit of entertainment. Occasionally, other copies of this script float around,but those inevitably turn out to just be duped down xeroxes of this clean, fresh source copythat were purchased from me in the past. Unlike those no-frills copies, I've taken the time todress up the item I'm offering with a handsome custom cover and added lots of rare extrasthat you won't find in other copies. To make this package a definitive examination of this amazing film, I've included several pages of scarce original studio promotional text for theproduction which includes a thorough Lewis career biography from that time ... there'salso a page with photos of Jerry as the clown and fascinating reflections from Lewis regarding the film. To top it off, there's a scarce full page image of Jerry clowning on thefilm set beneath a huge painting of Hitler ! In short, this is the most handsome andprofessional copy of this script you're going to find with rare, exclusive extras, coming directly from the very fellow who first uncovered this unusual treasure decades ago.You'll not find a cleaner one than this ... In fact, Jerry himself said as much when Igave him one backstage during his one-man-show in Las Vegas years ago. He told me his original production copy is " a real mess, that is all marked up " and wasgenuinely pleased to have a pristine new reference copy ... What more can I say ?
