Frank Tashlin and Technicolor, 21 May 2003
7/10
Author: Craig S. Thom from Illinois

Yes, Jerry Lewis can get annoying, but this movie is worth seeing just for the visuals. As in Cinderfella, the clothes and sets are all too broad and too bright for real life. Tashlin has a talent for making Lewis's mugging work more often than not.
