Lenny Bruce in 'Lenny Bruce'

1967 · 60 min Documentary Comedy
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Iconoclast Lenny Bruce appears at San Francisco's Basin Street West in what was his next-to-last live appearance. His act that night consisted of reading allegations and transcripts from one of his several obscenity trials and then commenting on what he'd actually done or said. While there are some "bits" in the performance (including the prison riot with Dutch, the Warden, Father Flotski, and Sabu, the prison doctor), this is much more a social commentary on government intrusion and censorship than it is a comedy routine.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Lenny Bruce in 'Lenny Bruce' is an acquired taste at 5.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1967. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
