So folks, let's dive into one of the most infamous pieces of lost media: The Day the Clown Cried. Directed by and starring Jerry Lewis, this 1972 film has never seen the light of day due to its controversial subject matter. It's said to be locked away in Lewis's estate until 2024, but details about the plot and production have trickled out over the years. The film deals with a clown during the Holocaust, which made it a sensitive and controversial piece. As of now, only a handful of people have ever seen the movie. There's hope that it might be released after the stipulated period, but who knows? It's one of those cases where the anticipation and mystery almost overshadow the content itself.
