In Feb. 2020 Chris Lewis donated many items and documents related to TDTCC to the German Film Museum, aka Kinemathek, in Berlin, Germany. Here is an approx. 30 min. video showing some of the collection items. Unfortunately, the narrative is all in German (I'll write a summary and post it here soon), but you can at least see some of the items, e.g. his clown makeup kit, scriptbook, camera blocking sketches, set design sketches, correspondence. One letter, to the lousy producer, was partially covered due to Jerry's very pointed language. Another letter, several pages long, was from his lawyer and explained the legal issues making completion and presentation of the film impossible. At this point there were only 3 shooting days left. That was when Jerry packed up and left Stockholm.

I hope to travel to Berlin to personally view this awesome collection, but things keep preventing me: first the pandemic and the closure of the Museum, then the unavailability of the collection to the public, then my own health issues, and now all collections in the Museum are closed for many weeks for re-organization, digitization and whatever. I'm not giving up.
