Customer Rating:      Summary: ALL TIME FAVORITE COMEDY Comment: THIS IS THE ALL TIME BEST COLLECTION OF JERRY LEWIS! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE HIM!!!!! THE BEST........
Customer Rating:      Summary: Perfect gift for Jerry Lewis' fans Comment: It's a complete collection of the best of comediant Jerry Lewis, it's great to remember those movies that convert him in one of a kind. If you are a fan or want to give to someone who does, it will be hours and hours of entertainment and laugh. Reccommended.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Where is "Who's Minding the Store"?!?! Comment: I guess it's my fault... I put "Who's Minding the Store" into the Amazon search field - and clicked SEARCH. This is the first match that came up. I assumed... being a collection of Jerry Lewis... that is was part of it. It isn't.
1. That alone is bad enough - not to inlcude what is one of his finest works...
2. Why does this come up as a match when there is nothing in this collection about that movie?
It's unfortunate...
Customer Rating:      Summary: Jerry Lewis 10 DVD Comment: Merchandise came quickly. Packaging was excellent. Won't know the quality of the product until after Christmas, it's a gift.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Comedy Clown Comment: After the comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis spilit up, Lewis outshown his former partner in the late 1950 thru middle 1960s.
THese films showcase Lewis the clown, Lewis the comic genius and the madman.
Here are my favorites and the highlights of why I enjoyed these...
The Delicated Delinquent-I would assume it was written for Martin and Lewis. Darren McGavin played the older brother type Martin character. Whereas Lewis hammed it up as the Delinquent who turned into a rookie cop.
The Nutty Professor-Lewis comedic retelling of Dr Jekyll and Me Hyde. Dr Kelp was trying to create a youth formula, he created Buddy Love (a send up of Martin). Stella Steven as Miss Purdy is great in this role.Directed by Lewis, this film is a classic. Listen to the commentary track where Lewis and his friend Steve Lawrence banter about what this film was
The Family Jewels-Lewis directed this film with a script by Bill Richmond and Jerry. A rich young girl's father died. The court asks her to pick who she wants to live with from her six uncles. Lewis plays all six uncles and the child's body guard. I love the commentary track of this DVD. You can hear the insights as writer and director Lewis explain himself
Cinderfella-A male version of the Cinderella story with Lewis playing the Cinderfella role. One of the high lights is Ed Wynn as his fairy godfather. Written and directed by Ex-Warner Brother animator Frank Tashlin, Fella (Lewis) is more fleshed out as a character than most of Lewis other characters.
The Bellboy--The story behind the Bellboy according to the audio commentary was the director needed more time for Cinderfella. He told the studio give him 30 days. He was working doing his night club act in miami beach at the Fontainebleu. He wrote short visual gags with a silent Stanley the bellboy. There is also a running gag with writer/actor Bill Richmond playing a Stan Laurel character. There is no plot in the bellboy, but you will be entertained/ Also this is a Milton Berle cameo that is funny.
Most of these films have Lewis and actor/singer Steve Lawrence commentraies. Then Banter like two old friends talking about movies and you are just sitting at the table with them. When watch this over the film, the commentary give you better insight into what Lewis the filmmaker is all about. You can take film school or you will listen to these commentaries track and you will learn just the same.
There is a lot of archive materials on these DVD. Everything from trailers to outtakes, it is worth it for any film buffs
With these films, You can see why the French consider Lewis a comedy legend. I wish we would honor him for his film work.
