269. 'Night of the Juggler' (1980)

Show Notes

'Night of the Juggler' is either one of the best 70's film titles or one of the worst. Honestly I enjoy it, for it's uniqueness and complete (well...near complete) relevence to the film's plot. It's certainly memorable, if not directly speaking to the film's setting...which is mostly in the daytime of a VERY 1978 NYC.

'Night of the Juggler' had long been sort of like that Jerry Lewis Holocaust film; never-seen, long-rumored to be secretly great...elusive.

But KinoLorber has finally rescued the film from obscurity with a new 4K transfer, available now on YouTube and other streaming platforms for purchase. It's well worth the trip. And it IS a trip, of the best, cinematic kind.
