Storyline

Interview-style biography of controversial and pioneering stand-up comedian Lenny Bruce. The film traces Bruce from his beginnings as a Catskills comic to his later underground popularity based on his anti-establishment politics and his scatological humor.



Short Review

Dustin Hoffman, good as he is in the title role, is never quite permitted to put together an organic, three-dimensional character.
