LENNY (1974). Decent film bio of Lenny Bruce, a comedian in the 50's/60's with an extremely Freestyle method of comedy, often profane and in Your face. Dustin Hoffman is very good as LB, who it seemed, had more balls than brains and decent support from Valerie Perrine as his drug addled Stripper wife. Also, the actress who played Madge The Manicurist in the Palmolive Dishwashing Detergent ("You're soaking in it") plays Lenny's mother and she's pretty funny in a film that really isn't. ***
