after see and hear some of leny bruce original and kudos to great performance by lead man dustin hoffman ( lenny bruce ) . not by a chance any less of a great performance also by valerie perrine ( honey bruce ) . interesting completion of screenplay by it concept through interview with lenny wife . super cinematography and excellent choice for black and white touch what actually make the story even more complex and ready to sink in . there be some fault but i simply ignore them for the same reason write above . so them ( fault i mean ) and you will have to find yourself and decide how to comment them . definitely in top range of hollywood movie making .
