Featured review
The SVU extended family
Some years ago that other Hollywood comedy icon Lucille Ball gave a powerful dramatic performance in a made for TV movie about the homeless in The Stone Pillow. Now Jerry Lewis in his 80s takes a turn in an episode of SVU playing Richard Belzer's uncle.
The squad is assigned to a case involving mother and daughter rape victims and during the course of said investigation Jerry Lewis, homeless and on the streets and clearly not in possession of all his faculties is brought in.
Being the aged uncle of one of the squad members, Lewis gets more than a presumption of innocence. They try to get him help, but he keeps insinuating himself in his investigation. In the end it brings about some tragic consequences for Lewis.
You can only hope a merciful God does not put you in the same position that Lewis is in and I daresay a lot of the elderly homeless. In a population that is aging, we as a society are going to find better meds and better housing for folks like these or this will be a growing problem.
A recent couple of stories from New York City make this SVU episode particularly relevant. More I cannot say.
