Film How ‘The Day The Clown Cried’, Jerry Lewis’ Famed Unreleased Holocaust Film, May Finally See The Light Of Day

In the early 1970s Jerry Lewis rewrote, starred in and directed a Holocaust tale — about a circus clown imprisoned in a Nazi camp during World War II — that went unfinished and unreleased, a project that he later disavowed. Now, after years of untangling complicated rights issues, K. Jam Media founder Kia Jam has executed a purchase agreement on the original script by Joan O’Brien and Charles Denton. He has the financing; the next step is to secure a filmmaker with the guts to tell a most harrowing story.
