Jerry Lewis directed, co-wrote and starred in this riotously funny movie that set a new standard for screen comedy and inspired the hit remake. Lewis plays a timid, nearsighted chemistry teacher who discovers a magical potion that can transform him into a suave and handsome Romeo. The Jekyll and Hyde game works well enough until the concoction starts to wear off at the most embarrassing times.
| nudity | In one breif scene, Dr. Kelp daydreams, imagining Setlla in some slightly suggestive dresses. |
| violence | Buddy punches a young man in the stomach couple of times. |
| profanity | None |
| alcohol | Smoking and drinking is shown throughout the film. Buddy asks a bertender to prepare an incredibly strong cocktail. After Buddy lists out all the kinds of alchohol he wants in the drink, the bartender mixes it, then takes a sip of the concoction, and faints instantly. The story of the film is that Dr. Kelp invents a 'formula' that turns him into a smooth-talking, muscular, chick magnet. |
| frightening | A couple of scenes where Dr. Kelp drinks a potion, may be slightly scary to young audiences--he begins to tremble, choke, change color, and gasp repeatedly in a very dramatic manner. |
