You'll be intrigued by the 85-year-old showman, his legion of devotees, and the fact that he still tells rabbi-and-priest jokes.
A revealing and entertaining career retrospective.
Method to the Madness leaves no doubt, in any case, about the appreciation he has inspired in others over the years, and not just the French.
It's great to have such important talking heads, but after a while, they don't really contribute much new to the discussion.
By the end of this documentary, yes, you're convinced that Mr. Lewis was a much larger figure than is generally acknowledged. But you still don't feel as if you know him.
Barson has made a doc too narrow in scope, with about as much substance as a meringue pie in the face.
The old clips are still a hoot, but there's a limit to how much compressed air a viewer can take, listening to a bunch of old men talk about how funny their friend was.
