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

00:38:58,640 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 638 00:39:15,210 --> 00:39:34,579 [Music] 639 00:39:43,610 -->

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

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 -->

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 -->

00:43:02,760 --> 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

--> 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 00:44:27,220 --> 00:44:38,809 [Music] 722 00:44:42,210 -->

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 -->

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 -->

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

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

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

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

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 -->
