The Nutty Professor
(1963)

Creative
I thought this was a creative story. Even though Prof. Kulp had huge "buck teeth", he was still lovable. I really enjoyed watching Jerry Lewis play two different roles. I have to admit, there were times I found myself disliking Buddy Love because he was so arrogant with Ms. Purdy. For someone watching the movie to dislike a character, the actor must be doing an excellent job getting his part across to the viewer. I was really impressed when Buddy Love sang "That Old Black Magic" at the piano. Jerry Lewis is a very good singer. If you haven't watched this movie, I would recommend it. Thanks!

Cinderfella
(1960)

Absolutely Hilarious
I thought this was the cutest movie I've ever seen. Jerry Lewis is absolutely hilarious. I was not a big Jerry Lewis fan when he worked with Dean Martin. I had a very hard time getting into his work. However, when he went out on his own, I really became interested in his work. I would like to make mention of some things I found very interesting and very funny in this movie. For example, instead of a fairy God mother (like Cinderella had), he had a fairy God father. He also read approx. 50 words when reading the inscription on the ring given to him by his deceased dad. Like Cinderella, Cinderfella was a loving, hard-working and honest person who was treated unfairly at first. He waited on his step mother and step brothers hand and foot. I happily remember when he went to the kitchen to make orange juice and proudly put his hand out the kitchen window, pulled in a tree branch, took a knife and cut off several very large orange to use in the juice. I thought it was creative to have him listen to the radio and act out playing the flute. I loved it. But, like Cinderella, Cinderfella was rewarded in the end for all his hard work. I waited with excitement to see how he would get to the ball and loved what the writers came up with.. And when he made his grand entrance into the ball, I couldn't help notice what a smooth dancer Jerry Lewis really is. I thought the music was beautiful. After I saw this movie I had such a warm loving feeling in my heart and I really thank God for this touching comedy. Jerry Lewis is the funniest actor in the world and his shoes (glass or leather that is) will be very hard to fill in the future. Thank You.
