i think this movie be the most misunderstood film in jerry lewis career . it little slow starting and but after it get go be very funny and jerry use of irony like never before in his early film . and ie and who mind the store and the nutty professor and etc . and the idea and be clear and it a mock of the dirty dozen and instead of get soldier on death row to do a suicide mission a in that film and you have 4 and 4 f and 2 tag alongs . include the former l. a. dodger all star centerfielder and willie davis a linc . hilarious . love that movie .
