About this deal

Down from £9.99 - Film about a nobody stand-up comedian with mental issues, focused on a TV show host starring Robert De Niro...and its not Joker?

Academy Award Winner Robert De Niro, Jerry Lewis and Sandra Bernhard give mesmerizing performances in this “chilling black comedy” (TV Guide’s Movie Guide) that explores the painfully high and often hilarious price of fame.

Desperate to be a star, struggling stand-up comedian Rupert Pupkin (De Niro) enlists the aid of his fanatical friend Masha (Bernhard) to kidnap talk show host Jerry Langford (Lewis). The ransom? A guest spot for Pupkin. The results? Outrageous! The King of Comedy stands as Scorsese’s prophetic masterpiece which confronts a celebrity culture that “looks more disturbingly current with each passing year” (Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide).

    Can’t wait to see him in The Day The Clown Cried.  

    Apparently some version of that film will be released soon….

    Like all the best films, I hated it when I first watched but gradually liked it a bit more each time I saw it over the years, and now appreciate as one of Scorsese’s best.
