59
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,720
earthquake good looking man
60
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,960
know Wonderful singer great Entertainer
61
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,840
and funny man
62
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,840
funny his father was a singer and a
63
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:54,720
comic who was very much influenced by Al
64
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Jolson and his mother played piano and
65
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,320
would often accompany uh Dan Danny Lewis
66
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,639
on on his tours his parents came from
67
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:03,199
Eastern Europe fleeing the kind of
68
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:05,800
persecutions they were Jewish and they
69
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,960
were both show business people as well
70
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,600
um so in some ways with Jerry Show
71
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,840
Business was in the blood um one
72
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:13,759
unfortunate consequence of his parents
73
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,320
being entertainers was they were away
74
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120
from home quite a lot so he grew up as
75
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,960
kind of like the only child of the
76
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,120
family but a very lonely child as well
77
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,039
without siblings around without kind of
78
00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:26,990
Parental kind of contact all the time
79
00:05:26,990 --> 00:05:32,160
[Music]
80
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,440
one time when his father was performing

00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,199

82
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:37,560

years of age devises his own act he
92
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:11,440
calls it a record act and he would have
93
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,720
a record player playing behind him and
94
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,680

create he was a very anxious child but
102
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,080
he could overcome his anxiety by not
103
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,039
having to use his own voice so he could
104
00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:46,400
purely focus on his body and his face
105
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,759

his monkey or the Playboy in the puts it
183
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:21,120

00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,320
dead and Lewis was basically the
190
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,160
architect of the ACT he never wrote a
191
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,320
lengthy script but he on a on a kind of
192
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,880
sandwich bag he just scribbled a few
193
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,760
notes about okay we have these two guys
194
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,959
doing this and they do that and um so
195
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:50,360
you have a basic structure which he
196
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,510
describes as blueprints I'm
197
00:11:53,510 --> 00:12:01,500
[Applause]
198
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:06,940
[Music]
199
00:12:06,940 --> 00:12:10,289
[Applause]
200
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:14,920
in I think Jerry saw in Dean everything
201
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,199
he wasn't and vice versa Dean saw in
202
00:12:18,199 --> 00:12:19,600
himself everything he wasn't through
203
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,360
Jerry and they fulfilled something in
204
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,440
each other you're going to sing the same
205
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,680
song stay right there I don't want yes

it I'm happy
208
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,240
again Jerry made Dean cackle and laugh
209
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,760
so hard through his physical comedy but
210
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,199
then Dean was such a wit that that made
211
00:12:51,199 --> 00:12:53,240
Jerry laugh and I think that's what
212
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,440
bonds anybody and any partnership
213
00:12:58,530 --> 00:13:01,669
[Applause]
214
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,760
he made my
215
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,839
life I was hoping to be a success and he
216
00:13:06,839 --> 00:13:08,360

245
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:32,839

carrying over into the postwar period
247
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:36,360
the male bonding that had been so
248
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,759
intense during the World War II years

they did the last film in 1956 they

didn't even speak on the set throughout

00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,279

were formulas like they had been in the

Martin Lewis days pretty much put
277
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,560
putting him in a situation and just

relationships that develops in this

the uh film director Frank

00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,399
tashlin by the time he he's actually a

more about how to make movies and

tashlin is a great mentor he sees

tashlin as a great meton sen but also as
289
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,520
a great director of comedy and he learns
290
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,679
a lot from tashlin and tashlin takes the
291
00:17:08,679 --> 00:17:13,420

00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:46,679
do the rest of my
309
00:18:46,679 --> 00:18:50,600
life I was 34 when I directed my first
310
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,039

[Music]
312
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,039
on January the 28th I began writing a
313
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:05,960
screenplay which I completed 8 Days
314
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,039
Later 170 page
315
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,799
screenplay I sent for a crew of 150
316
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:13,480
people from Hollywood and I was shooting
317
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,320
the bell boy in under two weeks from the
318
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,840
time that I told him my given product I
319
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,799
closed there after 28 weeks 28 days of
320
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:24,080
shooting I opened in Las Vegas cut the
321
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,200
picture in Las Vegas during the
322
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,720
day and the picture made over 7
323
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,600
million if you think you're getting a
324
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,320
tip you're crazy I'm using my case money
325
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,559
to buy a ticket to see a bell boy cuz I
326
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,080
hear it's
327
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,440
funny and it's got a series of silly
328
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,760
sequences and I like silly sequences and
329
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,799
Jerry Lewis is starring in it that's
330
00:19:55,799 --> 00:20:00,640
right big JL himself the tall nut
331
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,190

here you
334
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,799
Tobe I think one of the reasons why he
335
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:17,679
chooses to make this particular film is
336
00:20:17,679 --> 00:20:18,919
he wants to demonstrate where his
337
00:20:18,919 --> 00:20:21,240
allegiances lie he's honoring his Heroes
338
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,559
chaplain Katon Stan Laurel but also
339
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:26,080
trying to kind of move away from the
340
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,120
kind of formula comedies that he made
341
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,880
often with Martin this is pure
342
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,689
[Music]
343
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,760
comedy Jerry really wanted Stan Laurel
344
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,559
to be in a film with him that was his
345
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:46,440
dream and Stan agreed to be in this
346
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,440
movie and just before they went into
347
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,480
production he fell quite ill and pulled
348
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,120
out so if you watch the film today
349
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,400
there's a Stan Laurel impersonator in
350
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,080
the movie doing all the scenes that Stan
351
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,799
should have done they became very close
352
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:03,240
he almost mentored Jerry in Jerry's
353
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,679
earlier
354
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,559
career he used to say something to me
355
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,679
when you go out in front of an audience
356
00:21:12,679 --> 00:21:14,919
tell them you're going to do something
357
00:21:14,919 --> 00:21:19,120
then do it then tell them it's been
358
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:24,760
done he was the genius behind Laur and
359
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Hardy they had a real love in they loved
360
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,919

00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:36,919

and any comedian who came afterwards who
376
00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:45,679
wrote and directed his own films
377
00:23:45,679 --> 00:23:48,320

00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:53,080
loud crazy kid from The Martin Lewis
380
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,840
films decided he wanted to be a
381
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,960
filmmaker well I think that's a lot of
382
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,720
the backlash because they thought who
383
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,080
does this guy think he is
384
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,109
[Music]
385
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,080
chaplain he also makes a guest
386
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,640
appearance in the film as Jerry Lewis
387
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,640
the famous movie star this is one of the
388
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,240
first of many um films in which Jerry
389
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,440
Lewis is self-reflexively dealing with
390
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,720
the phenomenon of being Jerry Lewis in
391
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,799
the films stop with the brushing let me
392
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:31,960
have another cigarette please I'll smoke
393
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,200

394
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,679
Lewis we're all quite excited about your
395
00:24:35,679 --> 00:24:38,559
appearance at the F
396
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,720
blue Lewis once he actually starts
397
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,480
directing films wants his name on the
398
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,279
movie it's very important the film says
399
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:47,799
written produced directed by Jerry Lewis
400
00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:49,520
he's stamping the film with his own
401
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,399
marker with his own
402
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,760
signature but in the credits he he
403
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,080
credits the character of Jerry Lewis to
404
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,559
Jo of
405
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:02,600
Lage so we're working on a few levels
406
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960
here Jerry Lewis is is not actually a
407
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,919
person Jerry Lewis is a is an act is a
408
00:25:07,919 --> 00:25:10,480
is a performance by whoever Joseph
409
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,440
levich is the mighty
410
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,960
director fine can't you see I'm
411
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,760
creative oh it's you Mr bird it's a
412
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,360
pleasure to have you on the
413
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,480
set any director that I've ever dealt
414
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,520
with and those that ask me about my
415
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,520
direction of a film film I think we all
416
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,600
concur that you have to have a direction
417
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,640
as the Director who is the key factor in
418
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,600
the film creation you have to have a
419
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,919
direction now in the beginning you're
420
00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:43,279
given uh the opportunity to start in
421
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:45,279
creating the comic sequences without a
422
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:47,840
form without a pattern or a direction
423
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,840
because people want to see where you go
424
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,200
but once they have established the fact
425
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,880
with you that they are satisfied that
426
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,880
you're capable they now want to see
427
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,600
growth and they want to see a formula
428
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,760
and a pattern established or they won't
429
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,480
accept it because without pattern and
430
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,399
without
431
00:26:05,399 --> 00:26:08,360
form in film making then you could
432
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:11,000
always be referred to as a
433
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,720
novice and people will resent
434
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,840
that I'm going to
435
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,200
work all right places please all right
436
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,440
let's hear for the movie
437
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,760
star hey stupid
438
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,679
Hollywood's biggest most elaborate most
439
00:26:30,679 --> 00:26:33,399
expensive Studio stage set of all time
440
00:26:33,399 --> 00:26:36,399
is constructed before your eyes and only
441
00:26:36,399 --> 00:26:38,919
one thing is missing to complete it all
442
00:26:38,919 --> 00:26:43,120
the super nut and here he
443
00:26:43,580 --> 00:26:46,200
[Applause]
444
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,559
is it's got incredible kind of um Mison
445
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,120
in this movie he's constructed this huge
446
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:54,200
doll's house set and the camera cranes
447
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,399
up and down around this set and
448
00:26:55,399 --> 00:26:57,360
constructs the film through this very
449
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,440
artificial a use of high resource kind
450
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,679
of Technology if you like and the wellam
451
00:27:02,679 --> 00:27:04,360
melon house where the film is set
452
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:06,399
becomes a metaphor for the artifice of
453
00:27:06,399 --> 00:27:08,200
Hollywood and although he's not actually
454
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,679
influenced by the French critics like
455
00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:11,840
God arre for this time he's doing
456
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,440
something very very similar he wants to
457
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,039
use film as a way of shaping a
458
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:18,440
perspective on the world and uh at the
459
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,440
same time his films have being marketed
460
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,640
to to juveniles there they're children's
461
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,440
films so when he makes a film like The
462
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,080
Ladies Man which is basically an art
463
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,320
film it's you know critics are in
464
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,200
America are confounded my God what's he
465
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,559
doing here why isn't he just being funny
466
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:34,440
you felt you had to have a crane you had
467
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,000
to have practically everything that
468
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,720
Hollywood could give you and you feel
469
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,559
and more and you feel it you feel that
470
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:43,080
you need everything there is absolutely
471
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,120
I don't think anyone is good enough to
472
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:48,279
work within four walls and to work with
473
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:51,360
Antiquated equipment our business is
474
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,799
technology you've even invented a system
475
00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:57,559
of shooting yeah well in order for me to
476
00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,720
direct and in two places I had to devise
477
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,880
an electronic concept alongside of my
478
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,519
camera so that I could see what I was
479
00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:08,919
doing and see the actors on monitors on
480
00:28:08,919 --> 00:28:11,360
television monitors there wasn't anyone
481
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,240
out there I would trust to say it was
482
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,919
okay Etc it's my ball and bat that's all
483
00:28:16,919 --> 00:28:19,200
and you're also able to judge yourself I
484
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,640
mean where you've gone wrong yourself
485
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,320
absolutely I've seen many many
486
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
situations where I wasn't happy with the
487
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,440
comedian and I had to get him to do it
488
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,000
again and and if you think it's easy
489
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,240
talking to me you're
490
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:39,240
[Music]
491
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,760
crazy Jerry Lewis was certainly a rebel
492
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,480
but he was sometimes a rebel in spite of
493
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,600
his own maybe desire to be I think it
494
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,960
has a lot to do with class too people
495
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,919
don't often talk about that but you know
496
00:28:50,919 --> 00:28:53,279
a poor boy who becomes a rich boy and
497
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:54,640
how you're supposed to behave and
498
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,440
relationship to all of that and one of
499
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,600
his
500
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,120
autobiographical books he talks about
501
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,760
you know soon after he made it big in
502
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,159
Hollywood driving down in his
503
00:29:05,159 --> 00:29:07,799
convertible down Hollywood Boulevard or
504
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,519
something just blasting his horn as loud
505
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:12,320
as possible just to show how important
506
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,159
he was you know it's like a kind of you
507
00:29:16,159 --> 00:29:17,320
know something that you could say is
508
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,320
offensive but it's exactly what somebody
509
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,960
who is powerless and has no money and
510
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,240
then becomes rich is tempted to do
511
00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:36,559
[Music]
512
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:39,080

space he's not tracking like all those
516
00:29:51,159 --> 00:29:53,399
so-called modern Movie Maker and making
517
00:29:53,399 --> 00:29:56,279
fancy for the camera he's just interest
518
00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:58,519
interested in framing he's a a very good
519
00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:01,960
frer like great painters he has a lot of
520
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,600
sense of
521
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,760
geometry to be a comic you have to be
522
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,360
very capable in
523
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,799

00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,799

526
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:21,840
he should be supported and I'm one of
527
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,320
his a

00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,360
supporter uh but most people don't go to

530
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:31,880

I but we only have this men that can
564
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,679
go not only because it is
565
00:33:52,679 --> 00:33:56,279
difficult but because it carries a heavy
566
00:33:56,279 --> 00:33:58,080
responsibility
567
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,559
and the 10,000 actors that do Hamlet
568
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:04,399
don't have to check in with

00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:08,960
Shakespeare but we have to check with
570
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,159
them they are our
571
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,399
responsibility Shakespeare didn't even
572
00:34:15,399 --> 00:34:17,639
show up
573
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:22,720
today where he is I don't know
574
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:32,070
I use pred

578
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:17,240
fore
579
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,000
calm when you see someone having an
580
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,400
epileptic
581
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,440
fit a little part of your person is
582
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,800
somehow sees that as a mirror a mirror
583
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,119
of something hidden far inside um and I
584
00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:53,040
think that the the French Spectators are
585
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,079
more comfortable with pathology it's
586
00:35:57,079 --> 00:36:00,839
true that in the the 1900s deformity was
587
00:36:00,839 --> 00:36:04,119
the thing that made the public laugh the
588
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:07,119
most
589
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,359
I won't translate that because I was
590
00:36:43,359 --> 00:36:45,200
telling that you're a terribly good
591
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,440
director and a fantastic French in a
592
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,440
sense gave us American Cinema the
593
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,800
postwar critics in France they hadn't
594
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,040
seen any American films during the um
595
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,720
German occupation and then all those
596
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:58,760
films fluttered into the country at once
597
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,599
and their appreciation of of the films
598
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:02,839
allowed us to see our pictures in a
599
00:37:02,839 --> 00:37:05,119
different light but in Jerry Lewis's
600
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:07,079
case I mean the idea that the French
601
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:09,839
revered him became a joke in and of
602
00:37:09,839 --> 00:37:12,800
itself and nowadays the people who are
603
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,760
keeping the joke alive know really
604
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,359
nothing about Jerry Lewis and
605
00:37:19,359 --> 00:37:21,400
particularly his films and of course
606
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,119
there's also the fact that he's in terms
607
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:25,240
of our culture considered a mere
608
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:28,079
comedian American society is by you
609
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:30,880
examined very deeply I don't know if
610
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,160
you're aware of it How Deeply it is and
611
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,800
you also question it as you would any
612
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,040
society in which you live I try to knock
613
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,520
down people who
614
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,400
have no longer allowed themselves to be
615
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,800
just
616
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,960
people you cannot make
617
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:58,359
fun of throwing a snowball at a man in a

felt
619
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:03,440
hat but you can make fun of when you
620
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,160
throw the snowball at a black top hat
621
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,200
the why of it is because the black top
622
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,160
hat is the man at the
623
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,520

both the Aaron boy and the psy are

00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,720
similar in the sense that they're
630
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:58,640
Jerry's resp response to his lack of
631
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,760
critical acceptance and to a degree the
632
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,240
way he was treated by the Hollywood
633
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:05,720
bigwigs meaning that they just didn't
634
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:08,040
understand why he wasn't content to turn
635
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,599
out the same product or why he wasn't uh
636
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,680
falling in line why he had to be an
637
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,210
individual

I know I
641
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,079
know there are
642
00:39:53,079 --> 00:39:56,880
questions that don't get answered there
643
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,480
but is the audience time to think about
644
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,520
it which is good if you get your
645
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,440
audience thinking you got half of the
646
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,960
job done oh okay let me let me start
647
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,200
over
648
00:40:09,839 --> 00:40:13,040
again they just didn't understand why he
649
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,640
wasn't content to turn up the same
650
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,200
product or why he wasn't uh falling in
651
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,920
line why he had to be an individual and
652
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,839
tellingly he did not change his path

00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,880
do you realize that that that that screw
657
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,000
loose imitation of a human being has
658
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,640
disrupted this studio beyond
659
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,520
control it'll way it's like a a planned
660
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,040
culture in America but the culture it's
661
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,319
a culture that's planned by the studios
662
00:41:03,319 --> 00:41:06,880
not by critics not by the government not
663
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,040
by you know it's in fact you can almost
664
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,310
say the studios are the government
665
00:41:11,310 --> 00:41:21,670
[Music]
666
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,680
you have to remember that in the United
667
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,480
States in the 1950s and 60s the model
668
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,640
the male model Jimmy Stewart of course
669
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,359
comes to mind but Jerry Lewis's
670
00:41:47,359 --> 00:41:51,400
character somehow evokes for that
671
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,079
audience the same audience evokes uh a
672
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:57,560
problematic male figure to say the least
673
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,240
a male figure that is uh is totally
674
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:03,720
unpredictable for one thing can go off
675
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:06,200
on an irrational tangent is not in
676
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,400
control he's a dangerous figure for the
677
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,880
American ideal of the proper way to
678
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,079
behave are there any requests yeah get
679
00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:21,640
off I app thank you
680
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:23,860
[Music]
681
00:42:23,860 --> 00:42:30,409
[Applause]
682
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:39,520
as a child you have no filter and you
683
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,400
don't know the rules of life or to be
684
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,640
human so you are much more open to
685
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,640
exploring and as you grow older you
686
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,119
become self-aware and want to fit in and
687
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:53,599
T you're taught to not be as extroverted
688
00:42:53,599 --> 00:42:55,520
that's not as accepted but then when
689
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:56,880
you're in society and you go wait a
690
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,119
minute I loved being a kid and I loved
691
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:01,119
doing that and you don't lose that I
692
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:02,760
think Jerry's never lost that and I
693
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,319
think it's important for any performer
694
00:43:04,319 --> 00:43:07,839
to never lose that kind of freedom to
695
00:43:07,839 --> 00:43:11,440
just kind of say you know F you I'm
696
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,680
going to be out and open and and a ball
697
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,920
of energy and if anybody has a problem
698
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,720
with it it's your problem it's not mine
699
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:22,319
how old are
700
00:43:22,319 --> 00:43:28,220
you six six years six me too
701
00:43:28,220 --> 00:43:32,400
[Music]
702
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,960
one of the things that seems to me there
703
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,680
the most profound thing that happened in
704
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,200
his life was that his parents failed to
705
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,760
turn up for his b Mitzvah when he was
706
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,400
13 it seems to me this explains an awful
707
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,760
lot about Jerry Lewis's character
708
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,720
because when you're that
709
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:53,839
neglected you could never get enough
710
00:43:53,839 --> 00:43:56,000
attention no matter how much attention
711
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,559
you get later in life it'll never be
712
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,559
enough Jerry Lewis has said that it's an
713
00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:08,599
audience is like uh a
714
00:44:08,599 --> 00:44:11,319
thousand masers and poppers patting you
715
00:44:11,319 --> 00:44:14,680
on the head and saying good boy so that
716
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,400
validation that endorsement that maybe
717
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,440
was absent because the parents were
718
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,359
absent is provided by an audience and
719
00:44:20,359 --> 00:44:22,520
maybe that accounts for the hunger and
720
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,520
that the need to perform
721

732
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,599
I think there's something with Jerry
733
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:36,280
Lewis that might explain his
734
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,240
International profile he's somebody who
735
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:40,440
plays a little guy who's hard done by
736
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,119
who has to win through by Val virtues of
737
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:44,440
the heart and also through his efforts
738
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,119
greater ACC claim and acceptance I don't
739
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:48,440
think he necessarily represents the
740
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,319
American dream although he is a very
741
00:45:50,319 --> 00:45:52,359
successful figure I think exposes
742
00:45:52,359 --> 00:45:53,760
problems within the American dream and
743
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,720
problems within American social values
744
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,920
in in many of his films
745
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,520
I think in a very profound way Jerry
746
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,960
Lewis is America that's what's so
747
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,880
fascinating about him and Americans
748
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,359
don't like to see themselves in the
749
00:46:08,359 --> 00:46:10,640
mirror when they look like Jerry Lewis
750
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,160
so the real interesting phenomena is not
751
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,079
Americans hate Jerry Lewis but that they
752
00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:19,000
love Jerry Lewis and don't want to admit
753
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,319
it I'm just a human being with all of
754
00:46:23,319 --> 00:46:25,880
the foibles and all of the traps the
755
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,839
show the pressure the groupies the
756
00:46:27,839 --> 00:46:31,319
autograph HS the crew the incompetence
757
00:46:31,319 --> 00:46:32,680
Those Behind the Scenes you think of
758
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:33,960
your friends and you're not too sure if
759
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:34,960
you're going to be there tomorrow
760
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,520
because of their incompetence their
761
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,640
wonderful pressures that make every day
762
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,720
a glowing radiant day in your life it's
763
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,839
terrific okay if all of that means
764
00:46:44,839 --> 00:46:47,760
nothing if I'm wrong in spite of all of
765
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,070
that then I apologize I'm sorry
766
00:46:51,070 --> 00:46:57,240
[Music]
767
00:46:57,240 --> 00:46:59,000
in 1983 there's a very interesting turn
768
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,720
in ls's career he he appears in the
769
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:02,680
Martin scores film the king of comedy
770
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,280
playing a role that's very unlike the
771
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,640
Jerry of old he's a talk show host he's
772
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,400
very sober very Stern very joyless in
773
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,920
this film he's playing it's a very
774
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,400
astonishing performance but the critics
775
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,720
responded to this film as if they've
776
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:18,319
never seen Jerry leis act before so it's
777
00:47:18,319 --> 00:47:19,359
almost like the critics don't really
778
00:47:19,359 --> 00:47:21,160
have a framework for valuing for
779
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,079
understanding comic performance at all
780
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:24,599
it's only when Lewis becomes a serious
781
00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:27,640
actor that somehow he's seen to be cred
782
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,079
a Jerry I love this guy always coming up
783
00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:32,040
with these great lines I love him I love
784
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:33,800
him I know he's a great actor I worked
785
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,119
with him in King
786
00:47:35,119 --> 00:47:36,760
comedy
787
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:41,359
uh he played it pretty straight strong
788
00:47:41,359 --> 00:47:42,800
uh up to a point too I mean he'll look
789
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,240
at me at one point say I can't do
790
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:46,280
anymore this this take said it doesn't
791
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,760
matter you got it you know six seven
792
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,640
times or whatever uh I think you can see
793
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,240
this though in a lot of the pictures
794
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:54,200
with Dean Martin the stooge maybe the
795
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,240
bell boy The Ladies Man which is is
796
00:47:57,240 --> 00:47:59,760
visually one of the greatest I think uh
797
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,880
but I you can obviously it's so obvious
798
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,000
in the in the Nutty Professor I mean the
799
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,200
Julius kelp characters are grotesque
800
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,359
it's like a gargoyle that's come to life
801
00:48:09,359 --> 00:48:12,920
it's frightening and funny um but the
802
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,359
change to Buddy Love is the real
803
00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:17,440
scare that's where you see the acting
804
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,839
that tilt that tilt up when you see who
805
00:48:19,839 --> 00:48:23,760
it is from his shoes to the silk suit
806
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,640
and he's this he's buddy love and
807
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:28,800
this is a great
808
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,440
performance
809
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:36,000
professor professor since I was probably
810
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,319
five I thought about one day I'm going
811
00:48:40,319 --> 00:48:45,280
to perform in a great classic professor
812
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,400
and then I found
813
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,000
[Music]
814
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,079

818
00:49:00,359 --> 00:49:02,440
Shaw good boy and he did it all by
819
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,040
himself you did it all by yourself and
820
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,799
nobody helped you that's terrific and
821
00:49:05,799 --> 00:49:08,119
with your very own Big Mouth now if you
822
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:09,359
don't want this cocktail shaker to
823
00:49:09,359 --> 00:49:10,760
become a part of your gums mix the
824
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,280
drinks shut your mouth and pay attention
825
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,960
is that clear repeat after me I'll I'll
826
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,359
I'll pay I'll I'll pay attention I'll
827
00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:19,640
pay attention all right let's continue I
828
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:20,880
don't think it's a matter of proving
829
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,359
your skills in drama maybe that's true
830
00:49:24,359 --> 00:49:26,760
of comic actors but that's not Jerry I I
831
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,839
think I think he's a visual artist a
832
00:49:28,839 --> 00:49:31,440
visual artist like chaplain and Keaton
833
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,160
and he's got his own physical instrument
834
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,960
as an actor would call it as a key
835
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,280
element in the creation of his art so in
836
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,520
a sense he was virtually alone in his
837
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,059
[Music]
838
00:49:49,620 --> 00:49:51,119
[Music]
839
00:49:51,119 --> 00:49:54,200
time I don't know how many years of
840
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,079
articles there has to be written of sad
841
00:49:57,079 --> 00:50:01,000
clowns I mean every person who's in The
842
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,319
Comedy business has a very serious side
843
00:50:05,319 --> 00:50:08,160
and I I love it when people are shocked
844
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,440
to learn that it's like how many stories
845
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,920
you have to read before you
846
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,680
realize yeah comedy comes from Pain any
847
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,400
comedy comes from Pain um and so and
848
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,960
that pain is real and the pain is also
849
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,079
another side to be explored as an
850
00:50:25,079 --> 00:50:28,640
artist when I looked at Jerry
851
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,240
Lewis
852
00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:35,640
him I know him I know what he can do I
853
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,599
therefore try to steer his characters
854
00:50:39,599 --> 00:50:42,280
and his Personalities in the areas where
855
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,359
he is most
856
00:50:44,359 --> 00:50:47,720
comfortable for he is a
857
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:49,720
strange
858
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:51,839
unique
859
00:50:51,839 --> 00:50:55,000
neurotic strange unique
860
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,760
neurotic as soon as I find out what you
861
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,599
see most people look at
862
00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:04,000
that and think that that is total
863
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,200
makeup well now I'll tell you something
864
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,880
that I have never told anyone this is
865
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,760
makeup that's
866
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,359
clean CU if you look at that he won't
867
00:51:16,359 --> 00:51:17,359
hurt
868
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:22,240
anybody and he is who I think of all the
869
00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:24,520
time no more
870
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,640
makeup no more gas ly one
871
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,280

[Music]
875
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,079
brats it raises the Enigma of identity
876
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:40,640
to an interesting level you know we can
877
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,319
watch jeros exploring who Jal leis is
878
00:51:43,319 --> 00:51:45,040
across from film to film and across
879
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,359
various different media articulations he
880
00:51:47,359 --> 00:51:50,079
and I think he remains an enigma just as
881
00:51:50,079 --> 00:51:51,240
when you think you've identified who
882
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:52,880
jedo is he does something else that
883
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,720
challenges that presupposition
884
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,640
when you
885
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,359
walk through a
886
00:52:01,359 --> 00:52:03,440
storm keep your
887
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,240
chin up
888
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:08,319
high and
889
00:52:08,319 --> 00:52:11,160
Don't Be
890
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,760
Afraid of the
891
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:18,079
Dark by the early 1970s Jerry became
892
00:52:18,079 --> 00:52:20,359
less active in film making a good part
893
00:52:20,359 --> 00:52:21,799
of that reasons was because he became
894
00:52:21,799 --> 00:52:24,480
more involved with the annual MDA ton
895
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,920
which was taking up more of his time and
896
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,040
his tension but also the fact he was
897
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,079
experiencing health problems and uh they
898
00:52:31,079 --> 00:52:33,240
precluded such a physically demanding
899
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:35,000
process as directing
900
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,200
[Music]
901
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,480
movies his fundraising actually began in
902
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,040
the Martin Lewis days the very first MDA
903
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,200
ton was hosted by Jerry and
904
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,720
Dean and it just blossomed from there
905
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:48,520
because Jerry has always been interested
906
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,000
in humanitarian causes the muscular
907
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,920
distrophy cause being the closest to his
908
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:57,240
heart though your dreams be TOs so this
909
00:52:57,240 --> 00:52:59,119
is something that LS has devoted himself
910
00:52:59,119 --> 00:53:00,960
body and soul to for a very very long
911
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,640
time in fact it was very hard to
912
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,760
disentangle muscular distrophy from
913
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,040
Jerry Lewis he became such a
914
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,720
personification of the cause and
915
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:10,559
although that's actually now over still
916
00:53:10,559 --> 00:53:12,640
in America most people know Lewis I
917
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,559
suspect for his humanitarian work rather
918
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:16,040
than for his
919
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,000
