Lenny Bruce: Without Tears (1972)

The outrageous, groundbreaking comic Lenny Bruce, whose iconoclastic material in a conservative era got him into tragic trouble, is profiled by a close friend, Fred Baker, who prefers to remember the laughs Lenny Bruce's memory evokes instead of the tears. By presenting Bruce's landmark skits on the Steve Allen Show, his failed TV pilot episode and a candid interview with Nat Hentoff, Bruce's genius and anguish show through the dramatic and tragic trajectory of his career from aspiring artist to hunted "lawbreaker".

Old documentary about America's first shock comic, who basically wrote the book for everyone else, is sinisterly sparse and slow. Bruce was such a revolutionary but this low-budget documentary does little justice to such an influential man.

Decent documentary about Lenny Bruce where the highlights tend to be footage of Lenny himself in his earlier days when he was at the top of his game. If you already know anything about the comedian, this isn't going to shed any new light on him. Meanwhile, if you don't know anything about Lenny Bruce, this will give you an idea of who he is but doesn't really touch on how he impacted modern comedy

This documentary tells the story of Lenny Bruce with all the filmmaking passion of a PBS nature documentary from the 50s. It is a dull film edited sloppily and with a narrator who is laughably droll. Lenny Bruce was an important comedian, but his humor doesn?t really stand up well today, one can see the boldness in the craft, but I?d be lying if I said any of this makes me laugh. Furthermore, most of Bruce?s best material was never recorded, the video footage here is pretty tame. There is better material in the audio recordings which for some reason is accompanied here b strange, often irrelevant stock footage. For a better chronicle of the life of Lenny Bruce check out the 1974 Bob Fosse directed biopic Lenny, which featured Dustin Hoffman recreating much better material that was never recorded.

The original shock comedian who was cencored and busted everytime he played...and just because he had the balls to tell the truth in the 60s. He was ahead of his time and his honesty eventually killed his career and him. This is a great film full of some fantastic live clips.

Great documentary, even for Bruce initiates like myself, although very little of the footage is as funny or sharp as in the brilliant Bob Fosse flim with Dustin Hoffman...
