More than just a comic performer, Jerry Lewis goes on to write, produce, stage and direct many of films he appeared in.

Jerry Lewis - The Man Behind the Clown is a perfectly enjoyable watch, but one feels that there is so much more to Lewis.

Very repetitive, lots of excerpts from his films but nothing about his personal life with his first wife and disinherited family. Worth reading more on Wikipedia and the press for a more balanced overview.
