Editorial Review: Description: Although he's quiet, Stanley does have a tendency to work with a slapstick style that includes various amusing facial expressions. When famous actor Jerry Lewis comes to stay at the hotel, people around Stanley notice the strange resemblance between the actor and Stanley and this causes Lewis to have trouble with his entourage. Amazon.com essential video: Jerry Lewis was at the height of his popularity when he took his first directing credit, on The Bellboy, which turned out to be a huge hit and one of his funniest movies. But it wasn't business as usual: The Bellboy has no storyline, and the central character (a bellhop at the fantastically ornate Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami) executes his role essentially without speaking. Some of the gags are duds or dated, but the good ones are great: Jerry's anxious stroll across a cavernous, empty ballroom, and a small masterpiece involving four telephones at a reception desk. There's also a hilarious sequence in which the movie star "Jerry Lewis" comes to the hotel, which gives Lewis a chance to speak ("Stop with the brushing!"). The Bellboy is very short at 71 minutes, but contains essential proof of Lewis's gifts as comedian and director. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A LOVELY COMEDIAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO STAN LAUREL!It is a marvelous comedy full of good visual gags! There was no need for Jerry to speak. We have just look at his face and body to laugh a lot! And it was enchanting to see his homage to Stan Laurel, even his character name is Stanley! So tender and funny and of an era when comedy was innocent as a child's laugh!! As Stan Laurel, Jerry, you continue to be one of my favourite comedians ever! Rating:  - Funny for its time :-)By today's standards, this may not be considered an outrageously funny movie - back in the day, I can see that this would have been hilarious. I really love Jerry Lewis and it's one of the better roles I've seen him in. He doesn't have too much of a dialogue in this - whenever he is playing the bellboy character Stanley, he only whistles and uses his facial expressions to emote his clumsiness. The only scene where I truly laughed out loud, was when he was in charge of the bellboy desk for ... Read More Rating: - The BellboyThe start of the funny parodies. Every scene is funny, Lewis has very different versatile roles in this movie. Rating: - The BellboyToo funny!! 25+people getting out of one car...twin stars/bellboys...the Stanley gag...the invisible apple...Jerry Lewis is as great as he is silly! I really enjoy his movies especially when I need to laugh he is right on time with the comedy! Rating: - The french are right!This is the reason the French award Lewis a high honor in comedy. Very Funny. Watched it many times. Browse for similar items by category:
