Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy stars Robert De Niro as Rupert Pupkin, an aspiring and unbalanced stand-up comedian and the star of his own talk show—in his mother’s basement. Convinced that an appearance with late-night host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) is the only thing keeping him from stardom, Pupkin stalks and kidnaps Langford, holding him as ransom for a slot on the show. (109 mins., DCP)
