Robert de Niro, theatrically and conscientiously out of control, and Jerry Lewis, hieratic, are the weapons used by Martin Scorsese in this satire on human ambitions, which between some laughs that soon freeze, with shameless cruelty a scathing image of careerism and greed draws fame All of this is thanks to an extraordinarily stupid showman who kidnaps his television idol to achieve his moment of fame.
