Edit: I searched popular video hosting sites for some samples, and, pathetically, no one has done this yet. So here's some re-edited footage from Escape from Sobibor, done in Benny Hill style, instead:

Aw, man! That song can unfortunately turn any serious, sombre matter into the appearance of farce! Not good! You want to smile because of the music, and then you realise what the scene is, what the film is about. Conflicted. :(

But it does end on a triumphant note, at least--the successful escape!

I had been waiting decades for Jerry Lewis's unfinished masterpiece, The Day the Clown Cried--


The Day the Clown Cried

is an unfinished and unreleased 1972 Swedish-French drama film directed by and starring Jerry Lewis about a circus clown imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. [1] It is based on an original screenplay by Joan O'Brien and Charles Denton, from a story idea by O'Brien, with additional material from Lewis.[2]

--to become publicly available. That was supposed to happen in late 2024, but it turns out to be more fragmentary than previously understood:

In August 2024, all five hours of the film's footage held by the Library of Congress was screened for journalist Benjamin Charles Germain Lee, who confirmed in a subsequent article that what exists is fragmentary and that a fully finished film does not exist.[3]

Lewis had intended the film to be a"serious" drama, but, being Jerry Lewis, he apparently worked in weird little comedic bits throughout the film--like peeing into a porcelain urinal and it making a chinking sound, indicating that the urine had frozen because of the extreme cold! (Obviously, it was never that cold though.) At the same time, it allegedly has some quite poignant moments, according to Harry Shearer who has seen fragments of it.

Edit: I should add some plot details, to indicate how... odd? difficult? the film is:
By a twist of fate, (the former clown) ends up accidentally accompanying the children on a boxcar train to Auschwitz, and he is eventually used, in Pied Piper fashion, to help lead the Jewish children to their deaths in the gas chamber.

Knowing the fear the children will feel, he begs to be allowed to spend their last few moments with him. Leading them to the "showers", he becomes increasingly dependent on a miracle, but there is none. He is so filled with remorse that he remains with them, taking a young girl's hand and walks with them into the chamber.

No. I don't think you actually do know, that's why you were asked to explain yourself. And, I can only conclude you don't know because you can't.
 
All you’ve managed to accomplish is to show everyone on the right that your silly.
