Three on a Couch is a Jerry Lewis comedy that’s both funny and charming.   The basic plot is that Jerry Lewis’ character, Christopher Pride, is an artist who has won a prestigious French art contest, winning a large monetary prize, as well as the opportunity to live in Paris, France for a year.   He intends to take his fiancee, Dr. Elizabeth Acord (played by Janet Leigh) along so that they can be married.   But there’s a problem.

The Nutty Professor

The Nutty Professor (1963) starring Jerry Lewis, Stella Stevens

buy Jerry Lewis' The Nutty Professor from Amazon.com  The Nutty Professor is Jerry Lewis‘ most famous film, and with good reason.   Unlike many of his comedies, this is more than a thin plot for him to hang slapstick on.   The character of Dr. Julius Kelp is well-rounded and sympathetic. He’s also the traditional klutz that Jerry Lewis portrays so well.   The ultimate nerd, he’s physically humiliated in front of his class.  So, he tries several (very funny) attempts at building himself up, only to fail miserably.   Kelp then turns to his knowledge of science to create a formula to turn himself into the macho he-man that he dreams of being.  All in hopes of earning the affections of Stella Purdy (played very well by Stella Stevens).   The potion works all too well, releasing the suave, self-confident, arrogant and conceited Buddy Love.

Henry Fonda stars in this epic story of one of the deciding battles of World War II. By December, 1944 the Allies believe that the Nazi Army is on the brink of total collapse. But the Germans counterattack, pushing the American Army back in a bloody offensive. Now in a battle that could decide the outcome of the war, victory or defeat depends on fuel, without which the German tanks are powerless–and the fate of the world hangs on the outcome of one small, determined fight for a single fuel depot.

It’s reported that the author of Mary Poppins despised the movie version, but she’s in a very small minority. Thankfully, unlike some other classic children’s movies such as  Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, adults can enjoy  Mary Poppins as much as when they were children.

The Return of Count Yorga (1971) starring Robert Quarry, Marietta Hartley, Craig T. Nelson

The Return of Count Yorga is one of those few sequels that is superior to the original film — in this case,  Count Yorga, Vampire. The acting is, for the most part, better and the characters are at least as interesting.

Flint Lockwood: My name is Flint Lockwood. My whole life I wanted to be a great inventor. Just like my hero.

Order Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 from Amazon.com  There’s a saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And  Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2: Revenge of the Leftovers proves that in spades. The basic problem with the film is that the central conflict — nerdy scientist Flint Lockwood seeks approval from a father figure — is exactly the same as in the original film. Only the father figure has changed.
