Even at the end there, you could see some of what made him what he was and I think I got more insight into his work in a couple of hours than I had watching him my whole life.<br /><br />I came to Lewis backwards -- first the telethons, then his solo work, then the movies with Dean Martin, then finally that clip of them doing their thing in the nightclub. So for me, he improved as I aged, which is a neat trick I recommend to any great talent.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-19998470015202664542017-08-20T18:08:55.783-04:002017-08-20T18:08:55.783-04:00Well done, sir! I saw his movies with Dean Martin...Well done, sir! I saw his movies with Dean Martin, his solo films directed by himself and others, his TV shows, his telethons, read his book on filmmaking; many hours of Jerry Lewis. Some of it was very good - some of it was awful. I wanted to see both. (Wish I'd seen the nightclub act with Martin - I suspect that was best.) I couldn't stop watching him; and I won't. RIP, Mr. Lewis.Bellotoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867368335490719967noreply@blogger.com
