Essential Jerry Lewis Films

Amazon.com
Jerry Lewis's screen persona--an 8-year-old boy in the body of a 35-year-old man--gleefully subverted the buttoned-up culture of postwar America. In his early work, he played the disruptive kid brother to Dean Martin's lounge-bar sophisticate, both onstage and in an immensely popular series of movies. Following their breakup, Lewis began to direct his own films, reaching a deliriously inventive comedic peak in movies that belong with the best of Keaton, Chaplin, and Tati. Lewis could be too sentimental, and attempts to shift gears from infantile to romantic could prove disturbing, but he took his job very seriously, and as a director and performer of comedy he had few equals. The Nutty Professor is probably his most accomplished work, but throughout his '60s films there are scenes of pure comic genius where Lewis's instinct for comedy and his skill as a director combine to create perfectly orchestrated, hilarious chaos.
