Jerry Lewis plays Herbert Heebert, and he does it perfectly. A recent college graduate coming from a jilted romance looks for work and ends up working in a girl boarding house of Miss Wellonmellon, the opera star. There are many funny scenes- especially hat and the butterfly/botany scene. Will Herbert shake his fear and be able to face women again? See for yourself, and be ready to laugh loud!
Lewis does it again!
Jerry Lewis is at his outrageous best in this comedy from 1961 as he resides at a home with some beautiful Hollywood hopefuls. The chaos and the comedy reign supreme in this movie! George Raft also delivers a good performance. You won't be dissappointed in another of Jerry Lewis' fine efforts!
Jerry Lewis is Funny!
I got this film because I thought that the recent Tim Meadow's Ladies Man was a remake (like Eddie Murphy remade the Klumps), but it was completely different, and even better! No dis to Tim, but Jerry Lewis is HYSTERICAL!
I can't describe the story, as it is manic and goes all over the place. It is basically a vehicle for Jerry to do his thing, and boy does he ever!
There is a scene where he sits on a gangster's hat that is SO FUNNY- it made me laugh!
I am glad that Jerry is getting better (remember how bloated he had been?) and I hope he will make more movies soon, like this one. You know he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize? His gift of laughter is a precious legacy. And I can't wait to read his soon to be published book about Dean Martin.
When this movie came out in 1961, Jerry Lewis deliver a humorous look into what really happens in Hollywood. 44 years later it is still relevent today as it was then. Lots of surprises in this movie including the music of Count Basie in the classic boardroom scene with Lewis mouthing off to the music. I enjoyed Lewis' work in this movie!!

The team of Jerry Lewis and director Frank Tashlin (The Geisha Boy) were at the peak of their hit-making prowess with Cinderfella, a klutzy take on the fairy tale. Jerry is the stepson in a snooty family, dominated by wicked stepmother Judith Anderson and lounge-lizard brothers Henry Silva and Robert Hutton. Fairy godfather Ed Wynn turns up one day, not only promising "Fella" a happy-ever-after but basically accusing the old fairy tale of ruining the lives of countless married couples by raising unrealistic expectations of Prince Charmings in every home. (Tashlin always had a nose for psychoanalytic explanations along with the pratfalls.) The movie's very slow--especially whenever Ed Wynn is around--and has a strange taste for "interior monologue" songs, emphasizing the...

The hugely successful collaboration between Jerry Lewis and director Frank Tashlin (including Artists and Models and The Geisha Boy) came to an end with this knockabout hospital comedy, which contains a raft of Tashlin's patented sight gags. Jerry plays an orderly with a strange fixation on a depressed patient (Susan Oliver), but the point of the movie is watching Lewis wrestle with laundry bags or contorting with agony as he empathizes with the intestinal maladies of patients. This is one of Lewis's funniest movies for babbling, too ("Oh, friction--burning"). Meanwhile, Tashlin brings his cartoon sensibility to freestanding bits, such as the montage of wind chimes that ends with a skeleton chattering in the breeze, or the inordinately loud crunch of an apple in a hospital...

Jerry Lewis was at the height of his popularity when he took his first directing credit, on The Bellboy, which turned out to be a huge hit and one of his funniest movies. But it wasn't business as usual: The Bellboy has no storyline, and the central character (a bellhop at the fantastically ornate Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami) executes his role essentially without speaking. Some of the gags are duds or dated, but the good ones are great: Jerry's anxious stroll across a cavernous, empty ballroom, and a small masterpiece involving four telephones at a reception desk. There's also a hilarious sequence in which the movie star "Jerry Lewis" comes to the hotel, which gives Lewis a chance to speak ("Stop with the brushing!"). The Bellboy is very short at 71 minutes, but... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Jerry Lewis Director(s): Jerry Lewis DVD Release Date: Released the 12 October 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

When a star comedian dies his team decides to replace him. Jerry Lewis is the fortunate, or unfortunate, victim. We see the team, which includes Ellen Betz (Ina Balin), Harry Silver (Keenan Wynn), Morgan Heywood (Peter Lorre), and Bruce Alden (John Carradine), among others, attempt to transform Stanley Belt (Lewis) from a bumbling bellboy to a comedian.
There is a tie-in to another Lewis movie. In 1960 Lewis starred in "The Bellboy," where he played Stanley. However, I thought that the bellboy in the earlier movie was much more confident and capable than the bellboy in this later movie.
There are portions of this movie that I thought were funny. There were even portions that I found touching. However, in comparison to many of Jerry Lewis's other movie; I... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Jerry Lewis DVD Release Date: Released the 12 October 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours
