Part of our 'Martin Scorsese Season'. Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis in a dark comedy

With an official reissue of The Age of Innocence, we decided to delve into the back catalogue of one of America's most respected filmmakers. With a career spanning over 50 years Martin Scorsese has made some standout classics that deserve watching on the big screen.

About the film
Robert De Niro stars as Rupert Pupkin, a failing comic who is obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on the Jerry's show, he is only given the run-around. He does not give up, however, but persists in stalking Jerry until he gets what he wants. Eventually he must team up with his psychotic Langford-obsessed friend Masha to kidnap the talk show host in hopes of finally getting to perform his stand-up routine.
