I remember "Clown" from over 30 years ago! It took me a long time to track it down and I'm so glad I did. They used to run this short film on PBS in the 70's; I also remembered it vividly. It's very similar to "The Red Balloon". Deeply touching story and great Paris scenery. I highly recommend it; it has a valuable message for children but it is emotional so be prepared to discuss. I watched it with my daughter and 2 nephews and they were MESMERIZED. Also, quite a different lifestyle than children are used to now - very nostalgic for those of us that grew up before the age of hovering parents. Gilou Pelletier is wonderful as the main character, I wish I knew what happened to him!
