For a decade during the 1940s and 1950s, he teamed up with Dean Martin forming one of the greatest comedy duos in history. Later, he starred in hit films like The Nutty Professor and became an award-winning director. However, not everything Lewis touched turned out well. In fact, at least one major project turned out so badly that, despite the fact that Lewis directed and funded the film in question, The Day the Clown Cried, he has to date made sure almost no one has ever seen it.
