Jerry Lewis ...Imagine Jerry Lewis as Henry Higgins. Jerry Lewis as Willy Loman. These would be more apt than Jerry Lewis as Kreton. Let's just say they changed the play a little to fit Lewis's less-than-subtle style. I hope Gore Vidal made a lot of money from the sale to Hollywood, he certainly sold his play down the river.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030112918054543041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-57543227256263218862013-10-20T20:26:41.101-04:002013-10-20T20:26:41.101-04:00I have to go with Silver Screenings.

Could that possibly have been true? Never could stand his comedy, and I managed about 6-1/2 minutes of this movie before leaping toward the TV (no remote at the time) and turning the channel. Great choice for Bad Movie Theatre, Rick!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-21529127379813705002013-10-18T21:49:32.928-04:002013-10-18T21:49:32.928-04:00Not a huge Jerry Lewis fan here.

The club scene is hilarious.
