This is a 30" x 40" UK quad poster for the 1979 Carl Reiner
film The Jerk based on a story by Steve Martin and Carl
Gottlieb, screenplay by Steve Martin, Carl Gottlieb and Michael Elias
and starring Steve Martin as Navin R. Johnson. This was Steve
Martin's first starring role in a feature film. Plot summary: Navin
personally narrates his story for the viewer. He tells us he is a
foolish homeless bum adopted by an African American sharecropper who
does not realize he is adopted until adulthood. He leaves home and
hitchhikes to St. Louis looking for the Roger Wolfe Kahn Orchestra,
whose performance of "Crazy Rhythm" he has heard on the radio and
liked. On the road he falls in love with Marie [Bernadette Peters],
but Marie reluctantly leaves him because of the lack of financial
security. Navin's fortunes take a turn for the better when an
invention is a commercial success, so he finds and marries Marie.
Then problems with the invention and a series of lawsuits reverse his
fortunes; Navin is soon homeless again and abandoned once more by
Marie.
