(5 stars) - Fontainebleu
A very distinct archive of the original fontainebleu hotel in Miami Beach
Authentic not only in it's hotel footage, but also of local performers
Most of the events taking place by the actors is scripted and not even very
funny, but you will find out more information from the version narrated by
Lewis, than from anything in the movie,although he lies, pretty flagrantly
ie: about a scene in the dining room when he claims that there is not a cut
in the film. The clip is pretty obvious. Not a very long movie however, so
worth watching if you are so obsessed with Lapidus and old Miami as I am
Proceeds from this film went to the medical care of one of the Stan and Laurel
team of comedians who were mentors of Lewis',and this also explains why it
was done so quickly and cheaply.

(5 stars) - vintage Jerry
of all his hilarious comedy's,the bellboy tops the chart.lewis is insane and best portrayed in this film as the mute.the costars were great,and the skits were absolutely side spliting.I rate this comedy second to The Nutty Professor and adds to my collection.

(5 stars) - A LOVELY COMEDIAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO STAN LAUREL!
It is a marvelous comedy full of good visual gags! There was no need for Jerry to speak. We have just look at his face and body to laugh a lot! And it was enchanting to see his homage to Stan Laurel, even his character name is Stanley! So tender and funny and of an era when comedy was innocent as a child's laugh!! As Stan Laurel, Jerry, you continue to be one of my favourite comedians ever!

(4 stars) - Funny for its time :-)
By today's standards, this may not be considered an outrageously funny movie - back in the day, I can see that this would have been hilarious. I really love Jerry Lewis and it's one of the better roles I've seen him in. He doesn't have too much of a dialogue in this - whenever he is playing the bellboy character Stanley, he only whistles and uses his facial expressions to emote his clumsiness.
The only scene where I truly laughed out loud, was when he was in charge of the bellboy desk for a short time and one of the four phones would ring. Do you think he knew which phone to answer? Of course not. Other than that, it was good throughout but just not as funny as I would have hoped. He is a genius for sure, but I prefer him doing his crazy voices. Even so, I'd recommed this to his fans, as I'm sure they'll definately enjoy it.

(5 stars) - The Bellboy
The start of the funny parodies. Every scene is funny, Lewis has very different versatile roles in this movie.
