This is an original Universal Studios Presskit for the Carl Reiner comedy THE JERK (1979) staring Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Jackie Mason, Maurice Evans, Bill Macy, and Mabel King. This was popular comedian Steve Martin’s film debut playing a poor “black boy” raised in the South by a black family, only to discover one day that he is really white. Martin goes from rags to riches when he invents glasses that won’t slip off your nose, but he loses his fortune when it is medically proven that the glasses cause the wearer’s eyes to cross. This original presskit is in used but good condition. It contains 9 B&W studio action stills, which are in very fine condition. It also contains press releases for the full cast and crew, plot synopsis, production notes, biographies of director Reiner and producer David V. Picker, as well as biographies of all the major actors.
