Audience Member Another Lewis/Tashlin pairing. Oddly in in black & white which really hinders the glitz that makes a Lewis solo excursion more palatable. Some great supporting performances and Lewis obviously held sway as his unique brand of physical humor is very much in the forefront. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Jerry lewis is a master at comedy and this is just another comical feat! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best Tashlin/ Lewis films. It's hilarious. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member another interesting mcomedy from lewis Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Seen It Review Coming Soon Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Yet another Lewis - Tashlin teaming.
