FANTASTIC FILM THREAT EXCLUSIVE! Perhaps it sounded like a good idea at the time – “The ‘Nutty Professor’ Does Auschwitz”? Sometime around 1972, director, star, egomaniac Jerry Lewis embarked on a most bizarre, and many would argue, questionable film project. Not since “Springtime for Hitler” would the cinematic world be privileged to such a fun time romp through Nazi Germany. “The Day the Clown Cried” has been shrouded in mystery for years – the stuff of legend. Was the film ever even made? If so, is it really a comedy about a clown leading children into ovens in a Nazi concentration camp? Any hard details regarding the film, even what it is actually about, have been all but unobtainable. That is, UNTIL NOW!
