Martin and Lewis: One Night Only!

A live talk at the Museum of the Moving Image, the foremost media museum in the country,  Martin and Lewis: One Night Only!  institutionalized the language of comedy in film as the Comedy Hall of Fame recognized one of its pioneers, Jerry Lewis.

As a stand-up, actor, director, producer, writer and one of the greatest comedians in the history of the field, Mr. Lewis helped define so much of comedy’s vast language.

In this historic event, Jerry Lewis sat in conversation with Martin Scorsese, one of the most significant and influential filmmakers in cinema history. Together, they discussed Mr. Lewis’ work which helped forge the cradle of modern comedic cinema.
