Jerry Lewis: El Hombre Detrás del Payaso
Co-Producer
Desde los primeros días, Jerry Lewis, siguiendo la línea de Chaplin, Keaton y Laurel, hizo reír al público con sus gags visuales, de mímica y de comedia física. Sin embargo, Lewis era mucho más que un payaso. También fue un cineasta innovador cuya curiosidad insaciable lo llevó a escribir, producir y dirigir muchas de las películas en las que apareció, lo que resultó en clásicos tan adorados como “The Bellboy”, “The Ladies Man”, “The Errand Boy” y “The Nutty Professor”. Este documental narra la extraordinaria vida y el genial trabajo de Jerry Lewis, uno de los intérpretes y cineastas cómicos más icónicos e incomparables de nuestro tiempo.
