The Bellboy (1960)

Directed by Jerry Lewis

Overview

Stanley is a bellboy at the Fountainbleau Hotel in Miami Beach, where he performs his duties quietly and without a word to anyone. All he displays are facial expressions and a comedic slapstick style. And anything that can go wrong, does go wrong when Stanley is involved. One day, Jerry Lewis arrives at the hotel and some of the staff notice the striking resemblance.

Viewing Notes

Super entertaining flick that makes me nostalgic for the Jerry Lewis films I watched as a kid. Never saw this one but it still has that warm slapstick humor. Really dig how Lewis is both the silent bellboy and himself as the celebrity. Quite fun.
