Part of the Jerry Lewis tribute A Mubi JerrythonI. Jerry Langford walks. Broadway and 51st, East 53rd, West 57th. He cuts a figure at one with his surroundings, in tune with the come-and-go ambiance—the ephemerality—of the city. He is of the people, a pedestrian among countless others. Or not. ‘Jerry Langford, right?’ The woman stops him, a magazine in her hand—as if it might, at any moment, become a weapon. ‘Oh Maurice,’ she tells the payphone into which she’s speaking, ‘please hold on.’ She asks Jerry to sign the magazine, showering him in praise, talking her way into talking more. ‘Oh Jerry,’ the woman continues, an improvised ambition swelling in her. ‘Please say something to my nephew Maurice on the phone. He’s in the hospital.’ That’s it: guilt the philanthrocapital out of them. ‘I’m sorry,’ Jerry replies, ‘I’m late.’ No sooner has...

By the late 1970s, Jerry Lewis was becoming perilously close to being a has-been. After decades of celebrity – first in his successful partnership with Dean Martin, then later on his own as the star of comedies like Rock-a-Bye Baby and as the auteur behind epochal hits such as The Nutty Professor – the gifted comic filmmaker and host of the annual Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy telethon started experiencing a series of stumbles. He shelved his much-ballyhooed drama The Day the Clown Cried, about a German clown living in the Nazi concentration camps,...

The King of Comedy
Written by Paul D. Zimmerman
Directed by Martin Scorsese
USA, 1982
It’s understandable if some viewers were a little surprised to learn Martin Scorsese was behind the comedic masterpiece that was last year’s The Wolf of Wall Street. While many of his films have had their fair share of black humor, he had never made what could be considered an outright comedy. The closest he had in the past was The King of Comedy, out now for the first time on Blu-ray. But this is no casual laugh riot. Quite the contrary, this 1982 film is among Scorsese’s most challenging features. Even with a dose of straight comedy, particularly early on, the film’s key themes and the increasing desperation of its primary characters are far from simply comical. Instead, The King of Comedy ends up as a cultural commentary wrapped in a darkly humorous veil,...

The Tribeca Film Festival has tapped a restored version of Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy as its closing-night film. The festival, now in its 12th year, sometimes opts for a studio tentpole in the slot as it did last year with The Avengers. But festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal said this film, which will screen April 27 at Tribeca Bmcc Pac, “seems more relevant today than it was 30 years ago,” when it released.

A Face In The Crowd (1957) Director: Elia Kazan Cast: Patricia Neal, Andy Griffith, Anthony Franciosa, Walter Matthau, Lee Remick, Percy Waram, Paul McGrath, Marshall Neilan, Alexander Kirkland, Kay Medford Screenplay: Budd Schulberg; from his short story "Your Arkansas Traveler" Patricia Neal, Andy Griffith, A Face in the Crowd Elia Kazan’s 1957 drama A Face in the Crowd, written by Kazan's On the Waterfront collaborator Budd Schulberg, is neither the forgotten masterpiece its champions claim it to be nor a minor work to be disregarded as it was for several decades. In fact, A Face in the Crowd is a good though clearly flawed effort, whose chief weaknesses are a screenplay that gets bogged down in soap-operatic didacticism and Andy Griffith's over-the-top film debut as Larry ‘Lonesome’ Rhodes, a Will Rogers-like homespun philosopher who rises from drunken jailbird to national kingmaker. On the positive side, A Face in the Crowd...

Since you’re all reading The Film Stage for our cinematic history lessons, I’ve got a good one for you: in 1982, Martin Scorsese followed his supremely awesome Raging Bull with a bizarro flick called The King of Comedy. Starring Robert De Niro (of course – he was Marty’s go-to guy back then), and written by Paul D. Zimmerman, The King of Comedy was a prophetic treatise on the American obsession with fame, with DeNiro nailing it as a mentally disturbed wannabe comedian who kidnaps late-night talk show host Jerry Lewis (never better) in exchange for one night on his show. It’s the kind of amazing movie that’s relatively unknown beyond obsessive movie nerds, but it’s high on the list of either artists’ best films.

Undervalued, misunderstood, unseen or just generally unliked there are some films which we all have strong feelings about being underrated. Here are eight classics which I don’t quite feel get the credit that they deserve.
8.) Chariots Of Fire
“Now there are just two of us – young Aubrey Montague and myself – who can close our eyes and remember those few young men with hope in our hearts and wings on our heels.”
Maybe it’s because Vangelis unforgettable theme has been parodied so many times that people can no longer take the film seriously but Chariots of Fire is nonetheless an exquisite sports drama which features tense, well paced and expertly filmed running sequences that compliment the competitive nature of athletics in the same manner that Raging Bull complimented the bloody and brutal nature of boxing.
What is really impressive about Hugh Hudson’s film is that it does not...
