Viewing Notes
One of the better Jerry Lewis films I’ve seen recently. Lewis is the chauffeur for this young heiress and he plays that character straight. She has to meet each of her six uncles to determine which one will be her new father. Each uncle is also portrayed by Lewis. It’s amusing that for each one it’s merely a different outfit and a set of fake teeth.
The best sequences are when the pilot uncle flies a bunch of old ladies to Chicago and the detective uncle performs a bunch of trick shots on a pool table, which is rather amazing and also makes no sense.
