Joe Gould's Secret is a 2000 film based on the 1965 book by Joseph Mitchell.

The film starred Ian Holm as Gould and Stanley Tucci as Mitchell, with supporting roles played by Susan Sarandon and Steve Martin. Michael Lieber was the executive producer.

Reviews of the performances were generally favorable, although Tucci's direction has been criticized for carelessness and overall short-sightedness.[1][2] Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half stars, saying, "There is anguish here that make American Beauty pale by comparison."[3]
