"This is incredible, it turns out THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED does exist! It was reported today on Swedish TV that a former employee of Europafilm illegally copied the film onto VHS and held on to it for 45 years. Thanks to him, we might finally get to see this film in its entirety."

This guy is a real piece of work

I have never, ever heard of this movie. The title sounds like an Asylum mockbuster. So I'm very surprised to learn that it's a Swedish movie with Jerry Lewis made in the 70s!

One of the more famous lost films in history!  Interesting.

Apparently the film material Jerry Lewis gave to the Library of Congress wasn't complete.
