Unfortunately for the guests at the Fontainbleu Hotel, one of the bellboys is Stanley, an endearing, but accident-prone nitwit. With Stanley around, zany hotel hijinks abound, for the rubber-faced bellhop creates klutzy, comedic havoc wherever he goes. Lewis' first directorial effort, which he also produced, wrote, and, of course, starred in. Cameos by Milton Berle and Walter Winchell keep the atmosphere festive and the laughs aplenty. [More]

For my meager money, Jerry Lewis' best & one of funniest all-time comedies.

The Bellboy is nearly silent, in what could easily be taken as a nod toward French comedy titan Jacques Tati.
