  • METHOD to the MADNESS of JERRY LEWIS” – by Mansfield Avenue Productions –
    ABOUT “METHOD TO THE MADNESS OF JERRY LEWIS” – by Mansfield Avenue Productions – This film showcases the greatest American comedic genius ever: Jerry Lewis. Jerry is a comedian, actor, film producer, writer, film director, singer, humanitarian, professor, and soon to be a musical theater director. This project is unlike all other documentaries, not only because of Jerry’s uniqueness; it also revolves around his life today while taking a look back at his unparalleled past. At the age of eighty-five, this living legend is as vital now as he has ever been. The Film The film is grounded in the present from start to finish (looking back at his life and career when appropriate). We have pulled from our arsenal of over 50 hours of brand new and original 23.976 fps /1080p HD footage, specifically shot for this project, to explore the life of this comedy superstar from a fresh and unexpected perspective. The foundation of the film consists of recent milestones currently taking place in Jerry’s life. Our filmmaking technique allows the audience to seamlessly look back at his illustrious career without ever breaking the contemporary flow. By incorporating interviews with today’s hottest stars and directors of film, stage and television, one quickly learns of the major impact that Jerry has had, not only on Hollywood, but the entire world. Film Topics Martin & Lewis In 1946, when Jerry Lewis teamed up with a young crooner named Dean Martin, the face of entertainment was forever changed. By ad-libbing together, improvising insults and jokes, squirting seltzer water, and creating a general atmosphere of zaniness, their partnership dominated show business for ten years.

  • Ethan De Seife
    Ethan de Seife • Assistant Professor of Film Studies • RTVF Department ethandeseife.wordpress.com My recent book, Tashlinesque, investigates the career of Frank Tashlin, an important and overlooked director of very funny and visually inventive American film comedies. I have also written a book on the great film This Is Spinal Tashlin made Looney Tunes cartoons as well as live-action Tap. features with such performers as Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis, and Jayne Mansfield. I like to think that this book goes to 11. All previous studies of Tashlin’s work operate under the assumption that, because he worked in both animation and live-action, Tashlin made cartoons that “anticipate” his live- action features, and that his live-action features are somehow “cartoony.” My book disputes this claim as too simplistic, taking a historical/aesthetic approach to understanding Tashlin’s films. I use several new contexts instead: • Vaudeville history and aesthetics • Economic and censorship policies of the film industry • Performative styles in mid-century Hollywood • Sexual comedy and social satire Within the last 18 months, I have also published articles and delivered talks on a wide range of subjects within film and media studies.

    Compact Discs reviewed on this page supplied by Angel Compact Reviews Discs. Phone (02) 253-3690 good start. When you couple the porcine VIDEOS alien with a wisecracking cop, a half-Jew­ ish judge with a passion for vibrator bat­ teries and a few sideswipes at law and , order, drug reform and bad mercery, this film really has something to say. Best among the stars of this production is the cop (Ron Silver) modelled on the Dragnet model of Joe Friday. However, this gent has a penchant for saying his dia­ logue on screen, a habit which disturbs all and sundry. A genuine comedy with not the slightest hint of gore, something re­ freshing when you are dealing with an Italian eating alien. Recommended for a hearty laugh.

Jerry Lewis A decade before the first cameras rolled in Hollywood, Fort Lee was the birthplace of the motion picture industry. A half-century before Las Vegas, Atlantic City was America’s first playground. Red Bank produced Count Basie, Hoboken Frank Sinatra. In 1926, the Patron Saint of Comedy, Jerry Lewis , entered the world in Newark and later announced his arrival with the immortal words Hey Laaaaady! This fall, the 90-year-old Lewis starred in the title role of Max Rose, portraying an octogenarian pianist dealing with the loss of his beloved wife. Filmmakers Luke Sacher and Carole Langer have known Lewis and his family for decades. They asked him to peel back the veneer on his 70-plus years in show business and talk about the Jerry that his fans rarely get to see.

  • FYI/Attached Article on Jerry Lewis
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu ·,, \. Memorandum Date: August 12, 1993 To: Senator Dole From: Alec Vachon kl Re: FYI/Attached Article on Jerry Lewis The attached profile of Jerry Lewis appears in September's Vanity Fair -- takes him to task for his"pity" approach in the annual Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) telethon (see, e.g., pp. 86-87, 92). The article also presents Lewis as an unpleasant, overbearing jerk. Evan Kemp, former Chairman of EEOC, is a long-time critic of Lewis; discussed on pp. 92 and 94 (photo p. 84), together with personal problems Kemp and others have encountered in taking on Lewis and MDA. On page 92, Stephen Mikita is mentioned -- a former MDA poster child and currently a State Assistant Attorney General in Utah. A strong Lewis supporter, Mikita stopped by to visit with me several weeks ago. Although a Republican, he is campaigning for an Administration job. (The meeting was set up by Jack Gannon, acting Chair of the National Council on Disability and former President of the International Firefighter's Union. A get-acquainted meeting; no assistance by this office was request- ed or offered.) Initially, Mikita wanted to be an EEOC Commis- sioner, but no "Republican" slots are expected for some time. After meeting with a senior White House senior personnel of- ficial, he now apparently expects to be offered Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights or General Counsel at EEOC. The article also suggests possible improprieties in MDA's operations.
