3.0 out of 5 stars Jerry Lewis plays it straight to Tony Curtis., February 4, 2000

This review is from: Boeing Boeing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When the opening credits run, and the supporting female cast members `measurements' are shown beneath their names, you have no doubt you're in the 60's, bedroom farce, defined. In a roll reversal of sorts Jerry Lewis plays straight man to Tony Curtis this time around.

Bernie Lawrence (Curtis) is an American newspaper man stationed in Paris, the man for whom there is never too many airline hostesses, just too little time. His delicately balanced, and timed to the minute, 4-way love life comes totally unwound when old pal Robert Reed (Lewis) arrives for an unexpected stay.

Cliché after cliché, time stamped in most every shot, Boeing Boeing is a tribute to a different type of filmmaking than we see today, a different morality, a different approach to comedy.

Wonderful Paris sights are an added treat. Recommended.

I first watched this movie in Iran when I was no more than 6 years old! Since then, I have searched far and wide for this amazing and hilarious comedy only to find it here. This movie will have you rolling on the floor with clever slapstick and double entendres. It is a superb addition to any video library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Great !, September 4, 1999

I consider this movie one of the Greatest Comedy in Cinema History! TCurtis, JLewis and the less known but great actress Thelma Ritter simply put a Roller-Coaster movie that keeps you glued and amused from start till the end. Not many other comedies can do the same. And Jerry Lewis part is not diminished at all by the others ones. (I'm a real Jerry Lewis fan, but I don't think that Tony Curtis and Thelma Ritter are nobody in Cinema History, simply look back.....) All 3 are Simply Great, the Movie is Simply unmissible and any Superlative Word available in the Vocabulary can freely be used!
