Full Plot Details

Frank Sinatra plays Joe E. Lewis, a famous comedian of the 1930s-50s. When the movie opens, Lewis is a young, talented singer who performs in speakeasies. When he bolts one job for another, the mob boss who owns the first speakeasy has his thugs try to kill Lewis. Lewis survives, but his vocal cords are cut and he cannot sing. Several years later, his buddy tracks him down and tries to help him with little success. That attempt, though, leads to Lewis meeting Letty Page (Jeanne Crain). They fall in love and she inspires him to follow up on an offer to become a comedian (a result of his buddy's failed attempt to rejuvenate his singing career). Lewis has problems, though. The assault that nearly cost him his life also helped turn him into an alcoholic and an inveterate gambler. These two character defects become the basis for his act and help to make him a smash success. Unfortunately, they also work to wreak havoc in his personal life.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzFrank Sinatra is well-cast playing the comedian.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HThe Joker Is Wild is an amazing film. It is about Joe E. Lewis, a famous comedian of the 1930s-50s. Frank Sinatra and Mitzi Gaynor give incredible performances. The screenplay is well written. Charles Vidor did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and music. The Joker Is Wild is a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by John Swhat an incredible movie. The story seems predictable at first, but it turns out to be one of the most original and powerful stories I've heard. I absolutely love the ending, and I love how it feels both empty and satisfying at the same time. At first, I felt that the overall themes and even the characters themselves were too vague, but after some recollection, the entire film comes together so beautifully. Frank Sinatra delivers one of his performances in my opinion, the way he shifts his character as the story progresses is unbelievable (in a good way). And the musical numbers are just great. Superb film.
User Review - 10/10 by Nate TGreat fictional film bio of entertainer Joe E. Lewis. A shame this isn't available on DVD and / or Blu-ray.
User Review - 10/10 by Private Uclassic sinatra in an era long forgotten but for celluloid - superb casting and acting by all with the odd cranky frankie number thrown in - loved it. would have to be my favourite sinatra film - closely followed by ocean's eleven (the original). on fox classics.
User Review - 8/10 by danny done of the best biopics i have ever seen. honest and authentic, its always great to see sinatra do serious acting and he was superb in the lead. the acting was great all around and the first act was 5 star quality. a great film.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael TFrank Sinatra gives a strong performance as singer/comedian Joe E. Lewis in this biopic; Jeanne Crain and Mitzi Gaynor are the women in his life; the song "All the Way" won the Oscar.
User Review - 8/10 by Bryan MExcellent performance by Frank Sinatra as Joe E. Lewis is easily among his best. Seriously deserves a DVD/Blu-Ray release.
User Review - 8/10 by Lanning :it's hard to see Sinatra playing another person in a biopic, but he makes a good drunk and gambler, which isn't too far from HIS true self. a sad story of a tragic comedian who makes bad decisions throughout his life.
