Kyle M Oct 13 Jerry Lewis only wanted to play with a life-size dollhouse. The set is impressive while housing very few laughs, Lewis’ solo venture does not reach advantageous fulfillment as his tiresome style prolongs repetitively and sloppily for a screwball comedy that’s unfunny because of the childishly ridiculous nature.

If the Rock and Doris in Pillow Talk gave you heartburn, this will make you pray for the sweet angel of death. Where is thy sting ?

Even though I like the humor, music, and the set of The Ladies Man, it wasn't as good as people said it was. I wasn't a big fan of the editing and the sound. But what really disappointed me was the writing by Jerry Lewis and Bill Richmond as I felt like the two have not only missed a lot of opportunities but also relied on skits instead of the plot for The Ladies Man. So to be honest, the film indeed would of been better but it felt like Jerry Lewis rushed into production on this one. See more 08/04/2022 Jerry Lewis got his start as a comic in Manhattan singing along to records. He would make funny faces, pratfalls, and that was his thing. This movie is Jerry Lewis making funny faces and pratfalls, for an entire movie. If there is a length of wire on the ground he will step into it. If there is a trombone he'll fling the slide off. It feels like the movie lasts forever. Nothing is funny. Nothing. It's just weird face after weird face constantly mugging for the camera and yelling "Maaaw!" The set is gorgeous. There is one fantastic scene that's the white room scene. It's not really played for laughs just an all white room where Jerry Lewis finds a spider lady and dances with her in a white room painted with blue clouds to Harry James and his orchestra. It boggles the mind that anyone would like his. How? The terrible Three Stooges and Snow White which also came out in 1961 is easier to watch. Breakfast at Tiffany's a tremendous comedy came out in 1961 watch that instead if you want something from 1961. If you watch this movie you ask yourself, "Was Jerry Lewis ever funny?" The funniest thing he did in the entire movie was sit on George Raft's hat. That's it. He sat on the hat. Then George Raft said "You're sitting on my hat." That's about as good as this movie gets.
