It's tough to choose which Jerry Lewis movies is my favorite, but I have to start with this one. It's sweet, darlin' and romantic all rolled up into one. It's about Clayton Poole (Jerry Lewis) a bumbling TV repairman, who by surprise becomes an adopted father to triplet baby girls. Clayton's former girlfriend turned movie star, Carla Naples (Marilyn Maxwell) springs the surprise when she leaves them on his doorstep. Noble Clayton tries to keep everything a secret but all mayhem cuts loose. And Clayton's other love interest Sandy Naples (Connie Stevens) helps Clayton out of his dilemma and from the suspicions of their father Gigi (Salvatore Baccaloni). I'll leave the ending for you to see. If you love the wacky antics of Jerry Lewis and romantic comedy by all means go for it!

Long before "Mr. Mom" or "Kramer vs. Kramer", Jerry Lewis made a great argument for fathers to have as much say in the raising and nurturing of their children as mothers. This delightful comedy (with just enough drama added in for good measure) is about a man who goes beyond expectation to care for three baby girls who are left at his doorstep.

Moreover, this is not merely a comedy, but a musical, with songs that deserve the right to be as well remembered as any from "The Wizard of Oz" or "The Sound of Music".

This, among other Jerry Lewis classics, should be issued on DVD, but until they are VHS still looks pretty good.

This is one of my favorites. I had seen it many years ago as a kid, and it made quite an impression. For several years I kept track of it on the internet to see when it would be available on VHS, and now I am doing the same thing regarding DVD. Not only is Jerry Lewis hilarious as a "mother in training", but I enjoyed Connie Stevens as a "sweet girl next door" who knows what or rather who she wants.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies and I'm not even a big Jerry Lewis fan. My children and I laugh until we're crying every time we watch this movie.

From the other reviews you know it's about a guy trying to take care of baby triplets on his own. It's an EXCELLENT family movie with a sweet story as Clayton Poole (Jerry Lewis) does everything in his power to take care of these little girls. Sure, it's hilarious but it also has a strong family theme as the Clayton, the babies' aunt and grandfather do whatever they can to do what's best for the babies. Even the mother realizes in the end that the babies are what's most important.

There is definitely something for everyone in this movie.

Why, oh why don't they put it on DVD???

I have always loved Jerry Lewis! I loved him as a kid and now my children do too! This movie has always been my favorite of Jerry's and I have waited for it to be released forever it seems! I have been serching the net for quite a while... Finally! My second favorite of Jerry's is, Ladies Man. It was years before I figured out the name of that one! I never forgot Rock-A-Bye Baby, and you won't either!!! Jerry Lewis is the greatest comedian of all times! You gotta see this one again and again!

This has always been an all time favorite of mine. This is Jerry Lewis at his finest. He's in love with the hometown movie star and is given a chance to help her out of a jam. It seems that there are three babies with no father. Things get real exciting when the three are lefted on Jerry's doorstep and the town is wondering who lefted them. Connie Steven's has plans of her own which involves marriage. She's the movie stars little sister, and she has loved Jerry forever. Now, the Papa to the two girls can't stand Jerry and the temper is thrown many times. The movie is hilarious, and a must to see.

My children and I love this movie! Jerry is funny and adorable. This is definatly one of his best (it's so hard to pick a favorite!)In the movie Gerry is left to raise tripplet girls who are babies until there mother finishes shooting a film in which she star's. In the funny and famous style that only Jerry can do he makes it heaps of fun that you never get tired of watching. A good clean, funny movie for everyone.

Remember this movie for years. Have song Dormi Dormi to my children and now my granddaughters 5,3 and 3 months. They sing along word for word. The girls even dance in Marilyn Maxwell dance number. Jerry Lewis at his finest. A must see family movie.

What really sets this movie apart from most Jerry Lewis comedies is the script by the master of the screwball comedy, Preston Sturges. The snappy dialogue and unexpected plot turns- all characteristic of Sturges- compliment Jerry's typical slapstick performance, and add a dimension not seen in many of his other films. In fact, even those who aren't particualrly fond of Lewis might like this one.

Rock A Bye Baby is a great classic comedy. As a child I remember my father recording it from the television and watching it commercials and all every few weeks. I love the music and the hilarious comedy throughout this film. I am so glad to have a commercial free, clear copy of this movie. I highly recommend it to any comedy lover. Great for individuals and families to view together.
