Hey, laaaaady!

Just that single line uttered by one of the most iconic comedians in American film history is enough to put me in a good five-minute giggle fit.Maybe I’m just old fashioned — it certainly wouldn’t be a new charge against me — but the mental image of the very daffy Jerry Lewis will always put a smile on my face, no matter how “mad at the world” I might be.

At home, we have all of the available Jerry Lewis films added to our Netflix instant queue. Being the ol’ Navy guy, my particular favorite is “Don’t Give Up the Ship!” But I’ve gotten a lot of laughs out of his first independent film, “The Bellboy,” a perpetual source of happiness I’ve shared with my family.
