Academy Award Winner Robert De Niro*, Jerry Lewis and Sandra Bernhard give mesmerizing performances in this "chilling black comedy" (TV Guide's Movie Guide) that explores the painfully high and often hilarious price of fame. Desperate to be a star, struggIing stand-up comedian Rupert Pupkin (De Niro) enlists the aid of his fanatical friend Masha (Bernhard) to kidnap taIk show host Jerry Langford (Lewis). The ransom? A guest spot for Pupkin. The results? Outrageous! The King of Comedy stands as Scorsese's prophetic masterpiece which confronts a ceIebrity culture that "Iooks more disturbingIy current with each passing year" (Lucia BozzoIa, AII Movie Guide).
*Actor, Raging BulI, 1980; Supporting Actor, The Godfather Part II, 1974. |
