jerry lewis be marginally funny when he do not write his own material and have a good director like frank tashlin . when he start write and direct his own film what little talent he possess be overshadow by his egomania . whenever his film would fail ( and deservedly so ) in the american market ( they make money in france ) lewis always blame everyone and everything but himself while for example and he blame the failure of this film on the fact that it be and accord to lewis and release on a double bill with the porno feature deep throat . if anyone should have complain about that situation and it should have be the producer of deep throat . this be an absolutely idiotic comedy about the world richest man ( lewis ) who be reject for military service during ww2 and decides to outfit a special squad to go to germany and capture hitler himself . besides the many fault this film have ( the script be mind numbingly unfunny and lewis direction be nonexistent and the film have the look of a cheap home movie ) and lewis apparently think that surround himself with no talent and over the hill borscht belt comic like jan murray and sidney miller be a good idea while he must have figure that they would be so bad and they would make him look good . he be half right while they be embarrassingly bad and but he come out even bad than they do . for a comedy and lewis character be sullen and angry and pushy while the way he heap abuse on his underlings make you wonder why they would ever follow a bullying jerk like this on a dangerous mission like try to capture hitler . the fact that this movie take in any money at all be astound . it be by far the bad jerry lewis movie i have ever see i have hear that slapstick be even more pathetic and but i can not bring myself to see if that true or not and be to be avoid at all possible cost .
