Viewing Notes
Not a Jerry Lewis movie from my childhood but certainly one I would have loved as kid when I watched many JL flicks (mostly the ones with Dean Martin). Wasn’t even aware of this movie until I stumbled onto it via Amazon Prime. I enjoy this one quite a bit for the sci-fi fish out of water story. Joan Blackman is super cute here.
