Jerry Lewis - The Man Behind the Clown is a perfectly enjoyable watch, but one feels that there is so much more to Lewis.

Rated: 7/10

EPC1948 R

Very repetitive, lots of excerpts from his films but nothing about his personal life with his first wife and disinherited family. Worth reading more on Wikipedia and the press for a more balanced overview.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
