Dead Neon: The Many Faces of Lenny Bruce on Film
Lenny Bruce's depiction on film did not start or end with Bob Fosse's Lenny (1974). Through these other often offbeat cinematic incarnations, this essay piece considers how Lenny Bruce was the perfect Bob Fosse subject, and how Fosse's focus on the lives of performers invigorated his portrait of the controversial, trail-blazing comic.
Cast: Lenny Bruce, Bob Fosse, Daniel Kremer
