Viewing Notes

Decent Jerry Lewis comedy where he’s the vehicle to give a behind the scenes look at the Hollywood studio system. All of that is good stuff. Had he played his character more straight and a fish out of water w/the humor as a byproduct this would’ve worked even better. The zany approach in some scenes wasn’t necessary.
