The concept is real, but it's never been made.  In fact, Jean-Luc Godard

discusses it with Dick Cavett (!) in an interview from the mid-1980s.

 

P.S.  In that same interview, Godard twists Cavett's brain into little

pretzels as he explains why French intellectuals admire Lewis.  It's

something to see.
