Summary: 4 Stars
This set is a sampling of the immense talent of Jerry Lewis. Okay, it's far from the complete Jerry Lewis. I also wanted Who's Minding the Store, The Geisha Boy, and Visit to a Small Planet. But you can't have everything. I do like the clear picture and sound on these films. What a fun trip down memory lane.
The Nutty Professor has been called his best. I really like it. Just great stuff, smooth and funny and colorful. (But I hate the Buddy Love character. Too over the top. He's a jerk, we get it. We don't need a brick to fall on our heads.)
The Ladies Man is a lot of fun at Miss Welonmelon's boarding house, with some great bits: the butterflies, feeding Baby, fixing the gangster's hat, wiping Welonmelon's portait (that always makes me laugh out loud), and the microphone problem while broadcasting 'Up Your Street'. There's a rather sudden ending, but this is one of the best in Jerry's career. Amazing set, too.
The Bellboy is my favorite film of Jerry's, and it's extremely rewatchable because it has a lot going on, one thing after another. The lunch counter gag kills me. And you can't beat Jerry tampering with a clay bust that's still wet. Very good overall. And his character has virtually no dialogue. The amazing thing about The Bellboy is that they shot most of it at a ritzy hotel in Florida while it was doing its day to day business.
The Errand Boy is a fairly good comedy, a typical vehicle for Jerry Lewis. I enjoy it. Another bunch of fun vignettes.
The Disorderly Orderly is part slapstick and part depressing psychological study. Some wonderful comic bits cannot overcome the serious feel that the movie plays with in the pretty blonde patient who is totally bitter, resentful to everyone, and very troubled. If you took out all the parts with her and then extended the slapstick, you'd have a better flick. Just my opinion.
The Family Jewels is cute, definitely a family film; I liked this more than I remembered. Which uncle will young Donna choose to raise her? Granted, you know the ending long before it happens, but I loved the part when Jerry, as the pilot, takes the old ladies on a trip. Silly, surreal, and fun. Only on a plane with Jerry does the in-flight film become affected by the angle that the plane is flying. And Jerry gets to don five silly disguises in this movie, Uncle Julius being the same character as the Nutty Professor.
The Patsy is fair; taking the same exact concept as The Errand Boy (bigwigs need a substitute immediately and grab the first idiot they see), this movie is not as funny as we expect. It has its moments. I have to say that it says so much about no-talent people getting groomed into celebrities, which even rings truer today than it did then.
Cinderfella is a musical that is very colorful and stylish, another family film. You can tell they spent a lot on it. It's my least favorite, although I'm sure people love it. I guess you can't help but be pulled in to the familiar story, and the nice costumes and sets. While this film is lush and smoothly put together, I just don't get the fun experience from this movie that I get from The Ladies Man or The Bellboy.
The bottom line is that this set has a handful of wonderful movies that you just don't see on television any longer (which is a shame!). And the gems make up for the duds, definitely. A comedy lover's treat.
