i have watch this a a kid but and not be much of a jerry lewis fan and i have completely forget it ( not that it in any way memorable ) . the film revolve around impersonation ( which seem to be in the curriculum of every comic star . ) in this case a german officer and and while not as bad a leonard maltin claim ( award it a bomb rating ) and it not exactly classic stuff either certainly league behind chaplin the great dictator ( 1940 ) and even if comparably narcissistic . ironically and the scene prior to the appearance of the would be wacky general offer more felicity than the rather forced humor at nazi expense . the film be really lewis last gasp during his heyday while in fact and this prove to be his last vehicle to be release for 10 year ( it painfully apparent here that his particular brand of foolishness wouldn not pass muster in the age of mel brook and woody allen ) .
