Book

Should there not be information added to this article or a seperate article about the book? -- mjohnson 20/02/06

Unfinished films

Is the "Unfinished films" category really accurate? The article gives the impression that the movie was finished, but it was never released due to disputes between the original screenwriters and director Jerry Lewis. (Sugar Bear 14:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

The shooting was finished, but not the editing. There's only a rough cut for screening purposes; the released version would have been edited differently. Also, there's no music or credits. —Chowbok ☠ 22:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed from Trivia

This:

An episode of Batman: The Animated Series, "The Man Who Killed Batman", makes a slight reference to the film. When Batman is believed to have been deceased, The Joker holds a funeral and starts the eulogy with "Dear friends, today is the day the clown cried...."24.85.227.237 06:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BBC television broadcast?

A correspondent to the Simon Mayo radio show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Friday 12 September 2008 indicated that he had seen The Day The Clown Died a few years previously late at night on BBC television. Can anyone confirm this? Was this a extract or a full broadcast? Or just a false memory? Jamesbrownontheroad (talk) 18:51, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Basics

This article contains virtually no in-line citations and many unsourced/unattributed claims, opinions and quotes. 76.23.157.102 (talk) 04:37, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So why not pitch in and help convert the older style references very common in older articles to the newer, inline cites we now use? If you have the knowledge and the time, you'd be doing the article and readers a big favor. Sadly, I don't have the expertise on this subject. I'll mark it for my watch pages though and try and come back to it with some references. I'll try if you'll try! OK? LiPollis (talk)

Animaniacs

The short "Hearts of Twilight" sould at least get a mention.

The statements needing citations...

I think it's close to time to delete some of the statements still needing citations unless someone's going to find some. The reasons they won't or can't release the film have become urban legends themselves and other subsequent claims about where/how the tapes are stored etc. vary and shouldn't be mentioned in the article without reliable citations. I came here to learn about the film, but have found it to be unreliable information after referencing other sources. I'll leave it to keepers of the article to fix Dancindazed (talk) 06:48, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Final masterpiece

This film will be released after Jerry Lewis passes on or ten years which ever comes first. Lewis performance is a capstone of his movie career. It is being held back because it is to upsetting for Lewis to watch or talk about.
