In Memory of
Jerry Lewis
(1926-2017)
One of the last great figures of my childhood is gone. Lewis was my favorite comedic genius. I don't care much for the movies he made with Dean Martin, and I can't stand any of his movies made after 68. I don't know why his humor went so sour at least, according to my tastes. But during that magic period when the great films were being made, the 60s were set to happen and began to unfold, Lewis was magic.
My favorites are The Bellboy, The Errand Boy, and the Disorderly orderly. Also ampomg the best are Cemerfella, TheNuttie Professor, and The Ladiesman, Visit to a small Planet, The Patsy.
The French were right he was a genus!
