The Bellboy (1960)
6/10
slapstick Jerry
5 September 2017
Stanley (Jerry Lewis) is a bumbling, mostly-silent bellboy at a high class hotel. He gets into wacky slapstick situations. There is a cavalcade of comedic luminaries passing through including a big star played by Jerry Lewis himself.

This is a physical performance almost from a silent era. It goes from one situation to another. It can be rambling as the central narrative isn't well-developed. It is simply Jerry having slapstick fun. There isn't really a plot. At only 72 minutes, it doesn't necessarily need a compelling plot. It is short enough that the random physical comedy is fun before I got bored with it.
