Robert De Niro narrates this Oscar-nominated film biography of America's most unorthodox stand-up comedian.
Directed by Robert B Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm), the documentary profiles this provocative social comic and features rare, un-aired TV appearances, newsreel and home movie footage, as well as interviews with Bruce's mother, wife, daughter, lawyers, club owners, friends and prosecutors.
This is the definitive profile of Lenny Bruce, the performer and First Amendment martyr.
