Fun Jerry Lewis comedy shows Tashlin's comic inventiveness with high tech machines and gizmos.

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
