Lack of good storyline.
A Major Disappointment
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
I am being beneficient and/or munificent to give this movie a three-star rating. While as a boy I started seeing some of his first movies (e.g.-Jumping Jacks and Scared Stiff) and almost never missed a one of his movies all through my teen years, and was always taken with his patented laugh and very amusing antics, this movie was, I felt, a disappointment and a anomaly to most of his movies. While I did like seeing and hearing Harry James and His Orchestra, and while I liked seeing George Raft, the movie was basically a letdown. It was boring: it virtually had no plot and the acting was not of any great quality. If boredom is ever recommendable, this movie would singularly qualify for that. Again, I always liked Jerry Lewis', but this movie is, again, for many reasons, one of his worst.
Jerry Lewis introduced a funny movie to send laughing for everyone suffer from bored and silly to take our life easy and simple to reach for achievement by his funny situations in this movie which talked about a man worked in a house for girls that each one of them had their story by different cores and explanations.He refused at first time his work and employee but after that he was familiar with a new position to find himself with every girl as a golden key to solve their problems and to prepare them to face their lives by their hardness with pure spirit and laughing face as his personalities.In every time he tried to leave this home but girls forbidden him to leave it but at the end girls knew his pure core and brilliant behavior then they promised him to change their way in this life and to be good and honest in their works which will make this house in it,s atmosphere (the spirit of heaven and core of paradise).Jerry Lewis was a great actor that in Egypt many actor were influenced upon his style as a great comic actors in 1950s and 1960s.
On this, what would have been Kathleen Freeman's 88th birthday, I wanted to talk about one of her movies (even though she only has a supporting role): "The Ladies Man". In this one, Jerry Lewis loses his fiancée and moves into a house with a a bunch of women. He spends pretty much the whole movie getting into and out of various wacky situations. Best of all are the scenes involving Baby; they must have liked filming those! OK, so I admit that the idea of a man in a house with many women probably seems a little sexist. But as long as we understand that, the movie's still great. OK in a pinch, although far from the best comedy. Also featuring George Raft in one scene.
Herbert H.Heebert is depressed because his girlfriend has left him for someone else.He goes looking for a job and finds one-from a house that is filled with beautiful women.Every guy's dream job.But how can Herbert deal with such a working place, and with all those gorgeous ladies?Jerry Lewis is great as always.He always makes me laugh.He can be a nutty professor or a ladies' man, he's good at whatever he plays.
