the day the clown cried

Comedy legend Jerry Lewis’ “The Day The Clown Cried” has been almost an urban legend  for simply being a movie about a clown that leads children to a concentration camp gas chamber and Lewis vowing for it to never see the light from a projector ever.

However, a featurette of the film showing Lewis on set doing a few takes from the movie as well as setting scenes has been uploaded to YouTube and while not revealing what the macabrely fascinated part of you would want to see, you can imagine what was only to follow. 

It has hints of the documentary that should win the Oscar this year about surviving death squad leaders reenacting the murders they carried out decades later and their reaction to doing so, The Act of Killing, but for comedy.
