Beginning in June 2024, Mashon says, “The Day the Clown Cried’’ will be available to scholars for viewing in the research center at the 45-acre Packard Campus in Culpeper, Va., and will be shown to the public in the 205-seat theater.
So we may finally find out whether Harry Shearer's review is accurate:
One of the few people who has seen even a rough cut of film — comedian and voice-over artist Harry Shearer of “The Simpsons’’ — told Spy Magazine in 1992 that the movie “is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is. ‘Oh My God!’ — that’s all you can say.”
