Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime: Robert De Niro in The King of Comedy
Robert De Niro (Once Upon a Time in America), Jerry Lewis (Rock-A-Bye Baby) and Sandra Bernhard (The Best of An Evening at The Improv) star in Martin Scorsese’s (Shutter Island) unsettling The King of Comedy, a 1983 black comedy 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 demands? A guest spot for Pupkin on Langford’s show.
Fox’s 30th Anniversary Blu-ray release of The King of Comedy marks the film’s long-awaited Blu-ray debut.
