Slapstick (of another kind) Part 1

1982 Madeline Kahn, Jerry Lewis, Marty Feldman
Considered one of the worst films ever made but being a huge Madeline Kahn fan I had to see it, and have seen other people asking to see it as well.

this movie along with Andy Kaufman's Heartbeeps (1981) intrigued me as a kid. Of course, this was the era of the mom & pop video rental store and films like this could be easily obtained for a couple bucks on a Saturday night. Scavenger Hunt, Roman Polanski's Pirates, American Dreamer, Oh Heavenly Dog, just to name a few. I can close my eyes and still remember the smell of those plywood shelves and cheap carpet. Thanks for the memories.

Unfortunately, this scene was about the funniest part of the movie.
Jerry coughing, trying not to vomit at the ugliness of the twins, and half-heartedly consoling 'Shilfit'. Still raises a chuckle

If ever there has been an unfilmable book...

The kind of weird silly shit only the French could love

First movie ever that Jerry Lewis is not wearing his wedding ring. He wore it through every other movie even when his characters weren't married, and they rarely were. He fooled around on Patti consistently but always wore that ring. He met Sandee, the last wife in his previous film "Hardly Working". She was in a dance scene with him. It seems that he wore that ring all of those years to alieviate guilt or something. Why wouldn't he wear it during this film as he was madly in love with Sandee?

Thank you for posting. I wanted to see this film because I'm a fan of Kurt Vonnegut. Yikes! What happened to the script? Just awful, but still interesting to me to see little hints of the original story and style. There are two versions with different soundtracks.

Thanks for your post. I'm a Vonnegut fan too, but certainly not one Lewis, and am not interested in using this novel as a vehicle for his nonsense, so your review saved me the anquish..
Loved Madeline in "Young Frankenstein" though. Annoyingly pretentious is her schtick

Undoubtedly,one of the most bitterly hated with a passion "Movies" in the history of the Cinema.

Jerry Lewis is 1000% not funny

[@christopherrodriguez8424]

Quite possibly the most pathetically stupidest Motion Picture ever made by human hands in all of Cinema history.
