November 10, 1974 –
Bob Fosse’s devastating bio-pix about Lenny Bruce, Lenny, starring Dustin Hoffman and Valerie Perrine opened in NYC on this date.
The scene in which Lenny does his act in a raincoat, near the end of the film, came from a real-life show that a student tape-recorded and sent to Dustin Hoffman. Lenny’s lines are directly from the tape.
