The Jerk

Navin is an idiot. He grew up in Mississippi as the adopted son of a black family, but on his 18th birthday he feels he wants to discover the rest of the world and sets out for St. Louis. There everyone exploits his naivete, until a simple invention brings him a fortune. ??Tom Zoerner Awards: 1 nominationWorldwide Gross: $73,691,419Soundtrack: Tonight You Belong To Me (Sung by Bernadette Peters and Steve Martin)Carl ReinerSteve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Catlin Adams1979-12-14 (United States)tt0079367
