It's not a very nice or friendly way to begin a user-comment, I know, but ... what a boring movie! Personally, I never liked Alan Alda (can't stand his voice), but he's still the only reasonably qualitative factor here. I usually adore Blythe Danner, but her character is one of the most lamentable ones of the entire 70s decade. And, finally, I never heard Heath Lamberts before, but he's a poor actor and gives a weak imitation of Dustin Hoffman in the previous year's hit "Straw Dogs".
Please don't ask me to describe "To Kill a Clown" too much in detail. I constantly got distracted because the film is SO boring and SO incredibly uneventful. Lamberts is an untalented painter who occasionally paints his own face. He and his wife Danner struggle with marital issues and rent a cabin next to the sea, hoping to resolve them. Their neighbor and landlord, Alda, is a weirdly eccentric Vietnam veteran with two frisky Dobermans. What happens next, plain and simple, is that these three people attempt to talk each other to death. Talk, talk, talk, ... dull, dull, dull. And with a horrendous ending.
