Plot: This made-for-video documentary treats dark comedy fans to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The King of Comedy, Martin Scorsese's 1983 film about a failed comedian so desperate for recognition that he kidnaps the host of a late-night show in order to get his moment of fame. Features interviews with Scorsese and the rest of the cast and crew of the film who share their experiences from working on the project, as well as discuss the special efforts that went into bringing it all together.
