The spirit of Frank Tashlin hovers over Jerry Lewis's first auteurist triumph which‚ came at the height of his power at Paramount, allowing him to construct a huge set, add video tape (which he'd been using since The Bellboy)‚ and fill the stage with a large number of microphones‚ a decade‚ before Altman did the same. Mel Brooks contributed a number of gags, but his original script wasn't used. http://www.trailersfromhell.com
