Very interesting.

Swedish actor Hans Crispin has reportedly been sitting on a copy of The Day The Clown Cried after stealing it in 1980.

Audiences may one day get to see the completed version of The Day The Clown Cried, a controversial Jerry Lewis film thought to be lost for nearly half a decade. Actor Hans Crispin recently claimed to Swedish broadcaster SVT that he stole a copy of the film from its production studio, Europafilm, in 1980, per Sweden Herald. He reportedly copied it onto a VHS and has kept it—along with the original manuscripts—in a bank vault ever since. According to The National, Crispin also screened a copy for journalists from SVT and Sweden’s Icon magazine to prove his claim was true. “You’re the 23rd and 24th people I’ve shown it to,” he told them.
