Director/Producer Gregg Barson (director/producer of the award-winning Phyllis Diller documentary Goodnight, We Love You) explores the superstar comedian from a fresh perspective. Barson is the only filmmaker to be granted unlimited behind-the-scenes access to Jerry Lewis, resulting in unfiltered reflection on an 80-year career in show business.
