  • This show reel celebrates Jerry Lewis (March 16, 1926 -2017 ) and his physical slapstick humour. There has never been anyone like him.
    A Man who drew influence from Buster Keaton and Stan Laurel for sure, this is a tribute to Jerry.
    I made this less than a month before he died. His death is a great loss to me and one of the last from the golden age.
    This footage is owned by Paramount Pictures.

    So grateful for Jerry Lewis and all he gave us, both comedically and philanthropically. It was like 4 lifetimes!! ;).
    Martin Scorsese on Jerry Lewis: 'It was like watching a virtuoso pianist at the keyboard'
    He was the anarchic funnyman who went from comedies with Dean Martin to inspired cinematic brilliance with The Nutty Professor.
    In addition to his varied entertainment, philanthropic and family responsibilities, Jerry has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California, where he taught a graduate course in film direction. The Total Film Maker, a book based on recordings of 480 hours of his classroom lectures, was published by Random House in 1971. And since the book hit the stands, it became mandatory reading in every university and film school in the United States, as well as Continental Europe. The Films of Jerry Lewis book is one of the most comprehensive studies of one man’s body of work in the motion picture industry.
    And Jerry is brilliant at using humor to make an emotional connection.
    Behind the pratfalls, the jokes and the public persona, Jerry Lewis is a devoted family man who always carries snapshots of his family in his pockets for luck. The entertainer has a daughter, Danielle, born in 1992, in addition to five sons - Gary, Ron, Scott, Chris and Anthony - and several grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
    A frequent MDA Telethon highlight is a performance by Jerry's number-one son and his band -- Gary Lewis and the Playboys -- and the Telethon cameras regularly catch Sam and Danielle sitting in their customary front row seats. It’s also no coincidence that the official Jerry Lewis Web site, www.jerrylewiscomedy.com, is hosted by Jerry’s son, Chris.
    Jerry is famous for his love of children, and the immense popularity he enjoys among them is hardly surprising. “I get paid for doing what children are punished for,” he reasons. “In doing this, I can help them get rid of their hostility quotient.” Or, as one 14-year-old fan put it: “Jerry is just a nice big kid who makes us laugh. Kids love him because he’s really one of us.”
    Jerry summed it up himself when he said - in response to the countless well-wishers who wrote to commemorate his 76th birthday in March 2002: “76? You got the birth date right, but the age is wrong! I’m only 9 … remember? Always have been, always will be.”
    The motto that best expresses Jerry’s ongoing love affair with humanity is this: “I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
    “Jerry Lewis is a man for all seasons, all people and all times. His name has, in the hearts of millions, become synonymous with peace, love, and brotherhood.” The late Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, then a congressman from Wisconsin, penned those words in 1977 in the conclusion of his nomination of Jerry for the Nobel Peace Prize. Never in the history of show business has an entertainer been so honored.
    In 1984, the government of France officially recognized that country's legendary admiration of Jerry Lewis by giving him its two most distinguished awards. First, Lewis was made a Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters, and was extolled by French Minister of Culture Jack Lang for his “human qualities and generosity. You are a child’s friend, and a model for adults.” Later that same year, Jerry was inducted into the Legion of Honor by the decree of President Francois Mitterand. Legion membership honors individuals whose accomplishments demonstrate extraordinary public service. Back in the United States, on June 8, 1985, the Defense Department presented Jerry with its highest civilian award - the Medal for Distinguished Public Service.
    In 1956, Lewis began hosting an annual Labor Day Telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, a role which he held for over 40 years. In 1977, he became the only comic ever nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and in 1985, he received a United States Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. In March 2006, the French Minister of Culture awarded Lewis the ‘Legion of Honor.’ Lewis received the National Association of Broadcaster's Distinguished Service Award in April 2015.
    Lewis was a life-long philanthropist, and raised over $2 billion for his Muscular Dystrophy Association's Charity, Jerry's Kids. He was honored by not just one, but two stars on the Hollywood. In December 1996, the American Medical Association presented its Lifetime Achievement Awards to Jerry and MDA “for significant and lasting contributions to the health and welfare of humanity.” As National Chairman of MDA, Jerry has devoted two-thirds of his lifetime to the effort to eradicate neuromuscular diseases. His unflagging, year-round work for this cause has endeared him to millions. Under Jerry’s leadership, the Association has been - and will continue to be - the recognized leader in the worldwide fight against these diseases.
    One of the most successful performers in show business - with worldwide box office gross receipts of his films in excess of $800 million - Jerry Lewis has received global acclaim for his unique ability and style with both comedy and drama. Best known for his comedic genius, he's considered among the elite in the history of comedy. He has an exceptional feel for comic timing and possesses all the other unique qualities of a great clown. Critic Harriet Van Horne described Jerry’s screen persona as “a sort of witless genius,” while Hollywood director Leo McCarey called Lewis “the Pied Piper of the business, the heir to the mantle of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd.”
    Of note on his films. Even alone, Lewis was money. His first solo film-The Delicate Delinquent, in 1957-was a hit, as were Rock-a-Bye Baby and The Geisha Boy. In 1959, around the time Paramount signed him to a $10 million deal, the studio told him it wanted to release his movie Cinderfella in the summer of 1960 instead of giving it the Christmas debut he envisioned. Lewis, adamant that Cinderfella was a holiday film, told them he'd make another movie to fill the summer spot. He wrote The Bellboy while working stand-up at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach (where the movie would later be shot). He asked Billy Wilder to direct. But Wilder, who'd offered Lewis the Jack Lemmon role in Some Like It Hot, told him to do it himself. The experience would change Lewis's life.
    The film the Bellboy is a masterpiece of physical comedy built around a simple idea: The bellboy never speaks, because nobody ever asks him a question. When Paramount got wind of this, eecutives worried that Lewis was making a silent movie. He told them they were wrong-everyone else in the movie talked!-but they were still queasy, so he offered to finance it himself. It cost just under $1 million to make. Over time, he says he's made hundreds of millions on that film alone. "People at Paramount hear the word bellboy, they get very nauseous," he says.
    So grateful were the studio brass for his box-office magic-by his estimate, he'd brought in $450 million in ticket revenues when tickets cost less than seventy-five cents-that when he turned 40, in 1966, they came to his party and publicly asked him what he wanted for a present. He didn't hesitate: In thirty years, all the rights to his films would revert back to him. They agreed. And in 1996, he got his wish. On January 13, he received the Comic Life Achievement Award during cable television’s annual ACE Awards. The National Association of Broadcasters paid tribute to Jerry by inducting him into the Broadcast Hall of Fame on April 17.
    In an eloquent plea that ran in the Los Angeles Times, David Weddle, now a producer and writer on the TV series CSI, quoted them and several others talking about Lewis's lasting impact: the 1960 invention he is widely credited with, the video assist, which allowed directors to see what they were shooting in real time (it's still in use today); his 1973 book about directing, The Total Film-Maker, which even now is read in film classes; the continuing impact of the students (Spielberg, George Lucas) who sat in on the directing class he taught for years at the University of Southern California. In the end, though, it was his work with kids-the same work that got him nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977-that won him the Academy Award. Jerry was inducted into the International Humor Hall of Fame in 1992. And on February 22, 1998, Jerry received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Comedy Hall of Fame.
    In 1999, legendary film director Martin Scorsese presented Jerry Lewis with a career Golden Lion award at the Venice International Film Festival. Lewis was honored as “an extraordinary example of the total filmmaker: scriptwriter, director and protagonist of his films, therefore fully responsible for his work.”
    He kept giving and giving and giving to us. He loved so much. We are so grateful to him and his life.

    Mỹ mother always used to watch The Dean Martin Show in the 60s. I got hooked on his music and antics. Growing up in the 60s (nee 1957), I never knew of the Martin and Lewis team until I was about 11. Lewis probably would never have achieved the fame he did without Martin. Martin was an all around talent (singing and acting and straight man) and would have eventually became famous one way or another.

      Best = Nutty Professor ; most interesting = The Patsy ; Innovative = Ladies Man ; Under rated = Family Jewels, and Which Way to the Front?
      (only from the films he directed obviously)
      If I include films that others directed him in (such as Frank Tashlin) I'd say: Artists and Models ; Don't Give up the Ship ; The Geisha Boy ; Who's Minding the Store?

    So grateful for Jerry Lewis and all he gave us, both comedically and philanthropically. It was like 4 lifetimes!! ;).
    Martin Scorsese on Jerry Lewis: 'It was like watching a virtuoso pianist at the keyboard'
    He was the anarchic funnyman who went from comedies with Dean Martin to inspired cinematic brilliance with The Nutty Professor.
    Jerry has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California, where he taught a graduate course in film direction. The Total Film Maker was published by Random House in 1971. And since the book hit the stands, it became mandatory reading in every university and film school in the United States, as well as Continental Europe. The Films of Jerry Lewis book is one of the most comprehensive studies of one man’s body of work in the motion picture industry.
    Behind the pratfalls, the jokes and the public persona, Jerry Lewis is a devoted family man who always carries snapshots of his family in his pockets for luck. The entertainer has a daughter, Danielle, born in 1992, in addition to five sons - Gary, Ron, Scott, Chris and Anthony - and several grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
    A frequent MDA Telethon highlight is a performance by Jerry's number-one son and his band -- Gary Lewis and the Playboys -- and the Telethon cameras regularly catch Sam and Danielle sitting in their customary front row seats. It’s also no coincidence that the official Jerry Lewis Web site, www.jerrylewiscomedy.com, is hosted by Jerry’s son, Chris.
    Jerry is famous for his love of children, and the immense popularity he enjoys among them is hardly surprising. “I get paid for doing what children are punished for,” he reasons. “In doing this, I can help them get rid of their hostility quotient.” Or, as one 14-year-old fan put it: “Jerry is just a nice big kid who makes us laugh. Kids love him because he’s really one of us.”
    The motto that best expresses Jerry’s ongoing love affair with humanity is this: “I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
    “Jerry Lewis is a man for all seasons, all people and all times. His name has, in the hearts of millions, become synonymous with peace, love, and brotherhood.” The late Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, then a congressman from Wisconsin, penned those words in 1977 in the conclusion of his nomination of Jerry for the Nobel Peace Prize. Never in the history of show business has an entertainer been so honored.
    In 1984, the government of France officially recognized that country's legendary admiration of Jerry Lewis by giving him its two most distinguished awards. First, Lewis was made a Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters, and was extolled by French Minister of Culture Jack Lang for his “human qualities and generosity. You are a child’s friend, and a model for adults.” Later that same year, Jerry was inducted into the Legion of Honor by the decree of President Francois Mitterand. Legion membership honors individuals whose accomplishments demonstrate extraordinary public service. Back in the United States, on June 8, 1985, the Defense Department presented Jerry with its highest civilian award - the Medal for Distinguished Public Service.
    In 1956, Lewis began hosting an annual Labor Day Telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, a role which he held for over 40 years. In 1977, he became the only comic ever nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and in 1985, he received a United States Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. In March 2006, the French Minister of Culture awarded Lewis the ‘Legion of Honor.’ Lewis received the National Association of Broadcaster's Distinguished Service Award in April 2015.
    Lewis was a life-long philanthropist, and raised over $2 billion for his Muscular Dystrophy Association's Charity, Jerry's Kids. He was honored by not just one, but two stars on the Hollywood. In December 1996, the American Medical Association presented its Lifetime Achievement Awards to Jerry and MDA “for significant and lasting contributions to the health and welfare of humanity.” As National Chairman of MDA, Jerry has devoted two-thirds of his lifetime to the effort to eradicate neuromuscular diseases. His unflagging, year-round work for this cause has endeared him to millions. Under Jerry’s leadership, the Association has been - and will continue to be - the recognized leader in the worldwide fight against these diseases.
    One of the most successful performers in show business - with worldwide box office gross receipts of his films in excess of $800 million - Jerry Lewis has received global acclaim for his unique ability and style with both comedy and drama. Best known for his comedic genius, he's considered among the elite in the history of comedy. He has an exceptional feel for comic timing and possesses all the other unique qualities of a great clown. Critic Harriet Van Horne described Jerry’s screen persona as “a sort of witless genius,” while Hollywood director Leo McCarey called Lewis “the Pied Piper of the business, the heir to the mantle of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd.”
    Of note on his films. Even alone, Lewis was money. His first solo film-The Delicate Delinquent, in 1957-was a hit, as were Rock-a-Bye Baby and The Geisha Boy. In 1959, around the time Paramount signed him to a $10 million deal, the studio told him it wanted to release his movie Cinderfella in the summer of 1960 instead of giving it the Christmas debut he envisioned. Lewis, adamant that Cinderfella was a holiday film, told them he'd make another movie to fill the summer spot. He wrote The Bellboy while working stand-up at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach (where the movie would later be shot). He asked Billy Wilder to direct. But Wilder, who'd offered Lewis the Jack Lemmon role in Some Like It Hot, told him to do it himself. The experience would change Lewis's life.
    The film the Bellboy is a masterpiece of physical comedy built around a simple idea: The bellboy never speaks, because nobody ever asks him a question. When Paramount got wind of this, eecutives worried that Lewis was making a silent movie. He told them they were wrong-everyone else in the movie talked!-but they were still queasy, so he offered to finance it himself. It cost just under $1 million to make. Over time, he says he's made hundreds of millions on that film alone. "People at Paramount hear the word bellboy, they get very nauseous," he says.
    So grateful were the studio brass for his box-office magic-by his estimate, he'd brought in $450 million in ticket revenues when tickets cost less than seventy-five cents-that when he turned 40, in 1966, they came to his party and publicly asked him what he wanted for a present. He didn't hesitate: In thirty years, all the rights to his films would revert back to him. They agreed. And in 1996, he got his wish. On January 13, he received the Comic Life Achievement Award during cable television’s annual ACE Awards. The National Association of Broadcasters paid tribute to Jerry by inducting him into the Broadcast Hall of Fame on April 17.
    In an eloquent plea that ran in the Los Angeles Times, David Weddle, now a producer and writer on the TV series CSI, quoted them and several others talking about Lewis's lasting impact: the 1960 invention he is widely credited with, the video assist, which allowed directors to see what they were shooting in real time (it's still in use today); his 1973 book about directing, The Total Film-Maker, which even now is read in film classes; the continuing impact of the students (Spielberg, George Lucas) who sat in on the directing class he taught for years at the University of Southern California. In the end, though, it was his work with kids-the same work that got him nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977-that won him the Academy Award. Jerry was inducted into the International Humor Hall of Fame in 1992. And on February 22, 1998, Jerry received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Comedy Hall of Fame.
    In 1999, legendary film director Martin Scorsese presented Jerry Lewis with a career Golden Lion award at the Venice International Film Festival. Lewis was honored as “an extraordinary example of the total filmmaker: scriptwriter, director and protagonist of his films, therefore fully responsible for his work.”
    He kept giving and giving and giving to us. He loved so much. We are so grateful to him and his life.
