Jerry Lewis features himself in his sappy film about a clown whose only goal in life is to make the Jewish children of the Holocaust happy. Lewis plays his character as a slobbering idiot (type-casting).
This garbage never made it to theaters, mostly because Lewis is afraid to release it since he knows he'll be ridiculed by critics everywhere. His pretentious script drips with self-indulgence as the Nazis send the kids into the gas chambers with Lewis 'bravely' volunteering to go with them.
If you ever get a chance to see it, go ahead, but only so you can have a laugh at the expense of Jerry The Schmuck.
P.S. There's a video on YouTube which documents a few moments of the film while it was in production; it proves how much it stinks.
