Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Jerry Lewis conjured up one of his simplest concepts for this 1961 hit, but it required a lot of scaffolding. The Ladies Man puts love-scarred Jerry (who has sworn off women) in an all-girl boarding house, infuriated by the constant temptation. Except for the opening sequences, the film is entirely shot in the four-story-high, cut-away set of the boarding house, one of the most elaborate indoor sets ever made in Hollywood up to that time. Lewis, as director, finds dozens of angles to shoot within the set; this movie is one of the reasons the French are always talking about his directorial genius. (Jean-Luc Godard, who once called Lewis "the only one in Hollywood who's doing something different, the only one who isn't falling in with the established categories," borrowed the cut-away building idea for his film Tout va bien.) There's some great physical stuff, such as Lewis trying desperately to save the crushed hat of visiting tough guy Buddy Lester, plus a lot of Lewis vocal whining, especially concerning his name: Herbert Heebert, not Herby Heebert. The film has its share of gags falling flat, but for Lewis fans it's prime stuff, not far from the high-water mark of The Nutty Professor. --Robert Horton


Product Description

In THE LADIES MAN, Herbert H. Herbert (Lewis) has been dumped by his childhood sweetheart and has sworn off women. Then he unwittingly takes a job as a houseboy at an all-female boarding house. Surrounded by women, Herbert becomes the go-to guy who means well but does very little right.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cartoonish comedy, January 14, 2006
A big doll-house is the spectacular set of this stylished comedy, the second movie of Lewis as filmmaker, with the cartoon-style, sarcastic comicity, oniric visual imagination, calculated gag timing and technical curiosity characteristic in Lewis' cinematographic creations. The day of his college graduation, Herbert Heebert ( Jerry Lewis ) discovers that is being dumped by his childhood sweetheart. Heartbreaked and bored of women he decides to abandon his town and takes a job as servant in Miss Wellonmellon's house, a retired opera star, cheated by this and her housekeeper, only to discover the next morning he has been hired at an all-female boarding house. Creative direction, George Raft and Buddy Lester's funny cameos, patiently cooked sight-gags that frequently deepens into cartoon imaginary and a musical surreal sequence with Harry James and his band makes " The ladies man " one of Lewis' best films.

Widescreen edition. Extras: deleted scenes; theatrical trailer and commentaries by Lewis and Steve Lawrence.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cinematic Jerry, October 6, 2006
By Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
"The Ladies Man" (1961) survives as a dazzling vehicle for Jerry Lewis' filmmaking virtuosity. A decidedly thin premise (girl-shy Jerry unknowingly takes a job at an all-female boarding house) becomes a showcase for some of Lewis' most audacious camera work. The lavish interior set is a stunning creation and Jerry's sight gags are among his best. Transferred from an excellent 35mm print, the DVD edition includes plenty of extras and a commentary track by Lewis and Steve Lawrence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jerry Lewis at his Best, May 31, 2003
By James Layne (Benton, Tn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ladies Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I am a fan of Jerry Lewis, and usually enjoy his movies. However, this one is my very favorite. I laughed all the way through on this one, and the laughs were not just giggles, they were side splitting, lose your breath kind of laughs! A great movie that I highly recommend.
