Jerry Lewis could do it all. He is one of the greatest comedians ever, a mime of the stature of Chaplin and Laurel, a great actor, and most important of all one the greatest filmmakers of all time. His impact on the art of filmmaking is enormous. Yes, he also directed most of his films and supervised almost all of them. Maybe that annoyed many people in Hollywood, I don’t know. What I know is that he is trully a genius, he made his films way ahead of his time, so much so, that we have yet to recognize him as the great artist he was. In France, Jerry Lewis is called “Le Roi de Crazy” while in America, he is still an embarrassing and unexplained paradox, and often ridiculed. Some say it is because of his complex personality and public persona. Maybe he was too frank and honest. But whatever you think of him as a person shouldn’t get in the way of judging him as an artist. It’s like saying I don’t think Woody Allen is a great filmmaker because I do not agree with his personal life choices. But there are many examples of such misjudgments in history. But if you think of him as retro, or too early a comedian to still make you laugh, or you have a ceratin image in your mind when you hear the name Jerry Lewis, check out his best films in the list below and get ready for something magic and personal…Check him out!
