The Bellboy

This is Jerry Lewis' directorial debut, in which he plays Stanley, a mute bellboy at the Fontainebleau Hotel, one of the busiest hotels in Miami.

As always, Jerry does what he can do best, to get himself and others in a lot of mess throughout the entire film.

The Bellboy has no main plot, just a sequence of funny sketches without any connection to one another, and the visual comedy that we have here in this film is its main attraction. It takes us back to the early cinema comedies done so well by Chaplin, Keaton and Harold Lloyd.

With an universal appeal, because of the visual comedy, and its few dialogues, The Bellboy is nothing less than a work of genius, done by one of the greatest comic actor/director that ever existed, it will please anyone who watches it.
