The film has never been released. Jerry Lewis has a rough copy, perhaps no one else does. He has screened it for a few people and it generally got trashed. But it seems, from reading the script, that the largest problem perhaps was in the reality that it was Jerry Lewis trying to be serious. That just doesn't cut it now, does it? The story isn't ideal, but it seems genuine, quite real, and touching. There are some hefty themes and nuances within. It's human and takes us through genuine struggle like all good tales should. With some work, I could see this being quite an effective film or stage play. It ought not be dismissed too simplistically, IMHO. At least not without first reading the script and allowing it to take up your imagination.
