The Nutty Professor Movie Review

A mild-mannered (but nutty) chemistry professor creates a potion that turns him into a suave, debonair, playboy type with an irresistible attraction to women. Jerry Lewis has repeatedly denied the slick character is a Dean Martin parody, but the evidence is quite strong. Easily Lewis's best film, with many great bits of comedy and substantial contributions from the supporting cast. Remade in 1996 as a vehicle for Eddie Murphy.

1963 107m/C Jerry Lewis, Stella Stevens, Howard Morris, Kathleen Freeman, Del Moore; D: Jerry Lewis; W: Bill Richmond, Jerry Lewis; C: Wallace Kelley. VHS, Beta, LV PAR
