A Thousand Clowns

Jason Robards gives a fantastic performance as Murray, an out-of-work comedy writer who decides he’d much rather bum around New York City and see what the Big Apple has to offer him than get a job. That’s fine for him, but as the guardian of a young boy (Barry Gordon), he has certain responsibilities that the law, in the form of a social worker named Albert (William Daniles) won’t let him get away with it. Barbara Harris steals the show (no small feat against Robards) as the naive social worker who falls for Murray.
