In an interview with SVT (through National. He keeps his copy in the banking vault, but is open to share with the rest of the world. According to Chrispin, "You have to see!"

To prove that he was not a cheat, Chrispin showed his copy of a journalist from SVT and the one from Icon magazine. Now, when he has spent the public with his great secret, he told the publication: "I think I want to hand it over to the next generation. With today's technique, it can come back. I want to sell it to a serious manufacturer who either returns or keeps it locked, or returns it to people for studying."

Trying to sell can potentially introduce numerous problems with the rights that can retain the copy of Chrispin from whenever the projector's light views. As for what Lewis would like, he was inconsistent with his wishes over the years. "Everything was bad, and it was bad because I lost the magic," he said at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013 (through Fun weekly). "You'll never see that. No one will see it, because I'm ashamed of the bad work." However, writing in his autobiography in 1982 "Jerryi Lewis: Personally", "", The filmmaker said "the picture must be seen".

TCM viewers gained an stunning look at the "Day Clown Crying" when the cable channel broadcast the documentary "From Darkness to Light" in 2024. At that time, it felt like the most complete examination of the film you would ever get, but Chrispin has definitely changed the game. We have to wait and see how he goes on (and whether he is tricked with lawsuits), but for now, keep in mind that Harry Shurer said in Spy in 1992 about his experience in watching the film:

"With most of these types of things, you discover that anticipation, or concept, is better than work itself. But watching this movie was really awe, with rarely in the presence of a perfect subject. This was the perfect subject. This film is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy is so wild.

May this perfect item finally be available to the public. It cannot do more harm to Lewis's reputation than he did personally during his long life (he is probably best known for young people these days like old comedian Fart, who thought women could not be funny). It also cannot restore the legitimate greatness of the classics such as "The Nutty Profession", "The Bellboy" and "The Man of Ladies" or the indelible discomfort of his performance in Martin Scorsese's "King of Comedy". It is time for the world to see "the day the clown was crying".
