May 06, 2014Ruined somewhat for me by the fact that I had to memorize a monologue from this film, A Thousand Clowns remains a critique of what bring contentment to life. It is lightweight compared to most recent films on the topic but it is nonetheless good.

Jan 21, 2009Jason Robards is a middle-aged, unemployed bachelor who is raising his 12-year-old nephew (Barry Gordon) in the heart of New York City. When confronted by representatives from NY social services, Robards is faced with the choice of either conforming to "acceptable" standards (getting a job) or risk losing his nephew to the bureaucracy of the child welfare system. I have an affinity for cerebral comedies and this is definitely a good example. It stimulates the mind, tickles the funny bone and touches the heart.
