Jerry Lewis had a condo in South Florida in the 70s. My uniformed police partner and I were having breakfast one morning in an IHOP. This guy suddenly appeared at our table and picked up our check off the table. He said something like "You guys be careful out there. Thank you." and walked to the cashier. He was alone. I'll always remember him for that. No drama, no publicity, no hysterics. Just decent and humble. One of very few and I've met plenty.
@tom thumb you don’t know me. But please, get really upset with your own Distorted, foolish, reactionary thoughts. Jerry Lewis was a great entertainer, but a real ego maniac and everyone knows it. That’s probably why you love the guy...
You're right. So many back in the day had a history of working in vaudeville. Jerry Orbach ( L&O, Dirty Dancing, etc) was multi-talented and could sing as well!
I remember Sheree North in dramatic roles..I had no idea that was her dancing because I missed the part where her name was mentioned. She was amqzing!!
Jerry Lewis worked harder than anybody else in Hollywood during the 1950s and 1960s, but he paid a price for it with bad health in the 1970s and 1980s.
This is Jerry Lewis in his absolute prime!! 😆 this man could sing , dance , do pantomime, physical comedy , write , produce , direct , and act!! The man could do it all! He could ad lib with the best of them too.
Mr. Lewis docked his yacht in San Diego (my HT) for many years. I ran into him more than a few times and he was always kind AND humble. I learned from him that celebs are just people and if you treat them as such, it goes a LONG way. Helped me a lot when I was an Entertainment Assistant later in life.
There's people sliding on the floor , spinning , flipping , doing splits , what's not to like ? I mean , these old time dance numbers get me every time !! The energy is just crazy !!
I watched an interview with Jerry Lewis several years back, he cried about getting old and dying. He cried over having to leave his daughter. He was in his 80's then. It was very sad, depressing me for some time. He was a great talent !! America was blessed to have him for so many years. He was a good man with wonderful CLEAN fun. His mind was sharp for the interview. He raised alot of money too, giving of his time for many years. Too bad there are not more "stars" like him today. A MONEY HUNGRY WORLD TODAY. God bless him. Cheryl
Correct a money-hungry world I remember driving is worth $2 per car it went up higher than that and that's not going to the drive-ins the movies went up to over 15 bucks I stopped going to the movies nowadays movie stars producers directors one more money so they take it out on the People by raising the movie industry theaters
Yesh all the comments even from his Son Gary described him as a terrible person and only worse as he got older. Google it. I grew up to him and was hard reading all the things about him. He was mean to Dean as well. He didn't give a penny to his family from his 1st marriage sadly they all expected it.
The blind in white is Sherry North, a character actress in many movies and tv including Seinfeld. I didn’t know she danced though and is very very good!
Sadly in real life Lewis was a real arsehole. As he got older the goofy teen schtick became tiresome. If you want to know who the real Lewis was, watch the Nutty Professor. The character Buddy Love is much closer to who the Lewis was.
Love Jerry and Dean . Boy could Jerry dance amd seriously sing also. Those were.the days of talent and class. You may have talent today but most lack class
Jane Doe you know that's exactly what I was thinking in in those days shoes were made beautifully and literally made the last 20 years not like the ones today where you got to buy a pair every 6 months
I think that's what those shoes were designed for. Heels are best for ballroom, swing, salsa, etc. They keep you up on your toes so that you can move quickly.
Jerry Lewis' comedic timing and synchronicity with Sheree North was pure talent and genius...what a fantastic scene!!!...I can watch this over and over...
What a talent! He really knew how to dance! He was so much more than a comedian. He was a true humanitarian. The MDA telethon was a huge part of his life and personally touched my family. Has a brother and sister suffer from that horrible disease. He was one of the great ones. Thanks for all the good you brought into our lives. You are truly missed.
I feel the same way, but the reality of it was when Jerry Lewis passed away, there was NOT one TV station or news media that made acknowledgement of what he accomplished and gave of himself every year to put the MD Telethon together ! Yes he was one of the GREAT ones, not the garbage media we have today
Like most brilliant performers-Jerry made it look easy. Some of these moves are incredible. I can't imagine the strength and stamina. Way to go, Jerry!
As a kid in the 60s and I saw Jerry Lewis in movies, I thought he actually talked the way he did in real life. Then I saw him do the MDA Telethon and found out he had a regular voice. I never really liked him as a performer.
I had a dream where I was hanging out with Jerry as his assistant and he would go from one place to the other taking care of business and I was exhausted but he wouldn’t stop. His stamina drugs or not was unbelievable. When I woke up I was so tired I needed to take a nap.😔
Wow, a bunch of great athletes! I miss those times. Sunday dinner with a TV on a cart next to the dining room table and we’d all watch those Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis movies. The world was OK then and there were none of the threats to normalcy like today. Oh well, we had a good run….
Lennart Carlsson Well, he was a pretty good physical ‘slapstick’ comedian, though I preferred Lucy and some of the Marx Brothers material. Bu the trouble with that kind of comedy is that it’s really only a young mans game. It’s much harder to keep up when you reach middle age. And comedy, of course, is very subjective - ‘one mans meat is another mans poison’. I myself prefer humour that makes clever use of language, someone like Tony Hancock or the manic double-talk of Groucho and Chico Marx. Also, the dry humour of Bob Newhart or Paul Merton (who just cracks me up whenever he goes off on one of his surreal rants!), or even Dean Martin whenever he would come out with one of his hilarious off-the-cuff ad-libs. But I know there will be plenty of people who will disagree with me, and that’s fair enough. There must surely be room for all kinds of humour, especially the way the world is today.
Wow color me impressed. I never knew Mr. Lewis was a dancer. If you ask me although the two of them were great the young lady was keeping up with Mr. Lewis and not the other way around.
@@itsgleneaton4883 As a child I met Jack Benny and he too was handsome, believe it or not. On the outside the immensely talented Lewis was a looker...and sadly he was a number of other things that were less admiral on the inside.
@@classicalaid1 I know. We can’t see what one has been through growing up so we hide the pain and it comes out in other ways. I hope he and those whom he abused are healing.
@@classicalaid1 Are you perfect? Haven't you ever made a mistake? Always like parrots saying "but Jerry was a monster". Dean Martin abandoned his first wife Betty and his four young children to marry homewrecker Jeanne. He destroyed Betty's life, made her an alcoholic (Betty didn't drink when she married Dean). He married three women and all three times he abandoned them. He always cheated on his wives. Jerry never cheated on his second wife! Martin used women as sexual objects, worked only for money and used quite a few people in his way. But Jerry is the monster and Martin is the saint!!!!
Jerry had many talents, and I grew up watching them all unfold. Jerry had it all, and I'm glad he shared it with us. Great memories ! May he rest in peace.
My goodness, that Jerry when he was young could do absolutely ANYTHING! What an ungodly amount of talent he had and his energy!! WOW! You were the best Jerry. Then and now. Always.
Man oh man oh manic jitterbug! Jerry Lewis, Sheree North, and a bunch of everlovin' gypsies...movie magic at its finest...thanks so much for sharing. Lewis & North are some combo!
I am not sure now if the lady in the blue dress is Vivian or Lana they both so similar and the fast shot of her is confusing. Please set me straight lol. Thanks, If is Lana....my apologies and best of wishes to you.
Hi Alana: You are so sweet too I wish you much in this holiday season. Keep in touch, I love to get vintage videos in ballroom dancing. I have added you to my circles. God be with you, peace be with you.
Jerry Lewis was always my favorite guy. And when he use to do the MD telethon, I would stay up all night just to watch him. He was an amazing man to me. GOD bless his family.
My first Hollywood crush. When we were kids, we would purchase the TV Guide on Thursday and I would scour Saturday and Sundays schedule looking for Jerry Lewis movies. ❤
It is hard enough to do any dance steps quickly and successfully. For him to be able to do them, and add his comedy schtick on top just really shows how skilled he was. Entertainers from that area could basically do it all....sing, dance and act.
Give Jerry his due. He was a great entertainer and showman. Look at this energy..this execution,the timing. His talent is stellar. He is under rated,as we look back on his body of work. The French could see it, he was an idol there..and I can see why. The "Nutty Professor" was my fav...what a smooth dresser in that film...very under appreciated. Thank you Mr. Lewis for your gifts.
Jerry Lewis invented new ways of lighting sets in motion pictures , and was the first director to use video tape cameras mounted on the 35 millimeter cinema cameras. This allowed the director to see the shot instantly instead of having to wait 24 to 48 hours for the film lab. He was a genius and an American treasure.
Absolutely true. I have a love/hate relationship with Lewis -- he could be a brilliant performer (like here) and innovative director (for my money, The Ladies' Man is his best directed film), but he could also be annoying and cloying. But I've collected his movies...
@@MuzikSonics I disagree . Now genius doesn’t mean perfect . Still if you don’t won’t use the word genius how about acknowledging Jerry Lewis as a true original!
Unbelievable moves! Simply fantastic! Great Jerry Lewis was clever, smart, highly professional, extremely versatile big huge star. One of the greatest of all times.
Jerry Lewis was one of a kind…..such great memories…..now in 2023 somebody somewhere would try to shut him up for whatever crazy reason they can think of…. Comedy is dead anymore. Don’t want to hurt someone’s whiny feelings. Glad I lived in an era that could enjoy, Lewis, Martin and Archie Bunker!
These big screen productions were just amazing. You.will never find anything like this in today's movies.The choreography of these combined movie and music dance numbers were simply astonishing. Just think of how much work things of this nature were to produce. Jerry and other comedic actors at the time had to be multi talented to get roles like this one. Today's actors are not expected to do such a thing by film directors. This clip is a American classic and our children should be exposed to these film shorts and their place in American history.
I almost get angry when Jerry Lewis sates in interviews he is not a dancer. Just look at his footwork! Talent does not begin to describe this man. He CAN dance!
He also had a beautiful singing voice when he wasn't putting his comedic flair in it. Check out the movie "Rock-A-Baby" when his sings this very beautiful love song.
Growing up my parents & uncles , aunts use to watch Jerry & Martin all the time … I didn’t really get into it I was pretty young now that I’m older and wiser i get it .. GOOD OLE MOVIES ARE THW BEST..😊
I worked for Southland where we all donated money for MDA Marathons. Once a year he would come to Tyler and I was always lucky enough to engage in conversation with him.! Such a sweet gentleman.
No matter what you might think of Lewis as a person, he was a true comedic genius. Those choreographed dance moves were amazing, and it took a lot of physical conditioning to be that active and in perfect time with the music.
lightasair44 Look back to the lindy hop era. I had the honour of working with Frankie Manning before his death. Frank was doing all this stuff long before this movie was made. Great performance by Jerry, yes, but not new for the time.
Watch his feet. He's not just blundering around. He's on time and he's GIVING it in those moves--so much energy! Fancy footwork and in time with his partner. That's a well executed routine. I saw comments that he didn't like to call himself a dancer. I wonder what that was all about because he's amazing at it.
@@BrianWood-fj7ygIt definitely sounds like Maynard. In a high school English class we had to write to a famous person so I wrote to MF. Several months later I got a large envelope in the mail with a picture of him and a nice letter saying he was sorry it took so long to respond, but he'd been touring. I still have them.
I grew up watching jerry lewis. He was the cartoon of my childhood. As we all get older. You realise what a wonderful and very intelligent man he was. RIP my wonderful man. 💕💕
definitely mixed reviews on Jerry Lewis but no one can deny the man had talent. He was born to entertain and he sure did entertain a LOT of people for a good long time. RIP Jerry
Jerry Lewis had so much talent and athletic ability that he his so perfectly. Cannot say enough about what he did with the MDA telethons. God bless him
Jerry Lewis was an extraordinary talent. Sheree North is Jerry Lewis' partner. She was better known as mostly a dramatic actress right into the 90's. Trivia: she was Kramer's mom on Seinfeld.
Wow! Never saw Jerry dance this dynamically before! Man was so talented and the way he mixed in a bit of goofiness was absolutely amazing! He and that Marilyn Monroe-looking lady were fantastic together!🤩
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
The era when COMEDY was Fun, Entertaining and somewhat Wholesome. What a great talent.
Todays shows are goat tripe😮
Forget Jerry, that chic dances with more energy than is possible.
and in heels
Sheree North?
@@mtop5776 always loved her!
Ann-Margret, when she was dancing back in the 60’s, she was a ball of energy.
Not this gal, but another gal whose energy was beyond human
In France we loved Jerry Lewis, we knew that he was a wonderful showman with many talents
@sylvainlaurent, je confirme . Il nous a beaucoup manqué après les années 70😢

Really? He left none of his estate to his 5 children, Creep. He was a fake, fraud !!!
I had a crush on Jerry Lewis when I was nine loved all his movies ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too 😊
Me three!🐩
What girl didn't have a crush on Jerry Lewis, and Dean Martin? I love hearing Dean Martin sing, Everybody loves somebody.
I loved him the minute I ever saw him… I continued my crush way toooooo long!!! lol he was sexy
I dont think people here give enough credit to Jerry's dancing skills. His footwork is amazing.
Aw stop he's gotten plenty of credit
She danced her a$$ off. Entertainment😁
They all had to learn to dance. Dean Martin was just as good
I loved when he did "Ballin' the Jack" in another movie.
The 24hr Telethon, Jerry is the best,, that generation just was a class act, all the way!!
Back in the day, performers were multi-talented, but even in that era, Jerry Lewis was exceptional.
You're right. So many back in the day had a history of working in vaudeville. Jerry Orbach ( L&O, Dirty Dancing, etc) was multi-talented and could sing as well!
😊@@SpotTheBorgCat
I am thinking maybe a high IQ and fast foot work goes together.
IT'S ASHAME THAT IDIOT (jerry lewis) was such a horrible person to his family and everyone else.
Nobody's mentioning Sheree North - and she's just plain wild in that dance! I've always just seen her act but she was a very talented dancer!
thank you for mentioning her name.
I remember Sheree North in dramatic roles..I had no idea that was her dancing because I missed the part where her name was mentioned. She was amqzing!!

@@patanderson1175 It's like she was on some serious drugs or something.

Yeah, this explains his boxing scene which is yet another level
I LOVE ME SOME JERRY LEWIS. HE WAS SO VERY TALENTED, SING, DANCE, ACT, PLAY EVERY INSTRUMENT AND PRODUCE AND DIRECT. HE COULD DO IT ALL.
Let's face it, to be able to look like a fool dancing, you have to be a pretty skilled dancer. Jerry certainly was and then some. RIP
RIP Jerry Lewis! Thanks for decades of entertainment. You were one of the best to ever do it!
I love every movie jerry Lewis and dean martin was in
The beginning of the dance, his feet were moving like crazy but his upper body was completely still. What a great dancer
And so is the FEMALE DANCER!!!!!!!
@@sandrarivera3829 it's okay to say a man is awesome. I know woke hate that
@@sandrarivera3829 she was wild
FOOTWORK IS OFF THE CHARTS!!!!DR.BRYANT LANE.
@@bryantlane8646 backwards and in high heels, just like all the Fred Astaire girls!
Ohhhh I loved Jerry Lewis when I was a kid, I thought he was amazing bless him. 😂
As a kid watching Jerry Lewis, I absolutely love this guy’s facial expressions. No wonder 💭 he’s the King of all Comedians. No questions ❣️
As a young boy I always loved Jerry Lewis. His crazy way of acting kept me entertained, my parents loved it!!
Never new Jerry was an accomplished dancer. Both of them were amazing. Thanks
I love Jerry Lewis, so high energy I got exhausted just watching this. It did make me want to go back and watch some of his movies again.
Unbelievable moves! Simply fantastic! Great Jerry Lewis was clever, smart, highly professional, extremely versatile big huge star. One of the greatest of all times.
Jerry Lewis was one of a kind…..such great memories…..now in 2023 somebody somewhere would try to shut him up for whatever crazy reason they can think of…. Comedy is dead anymore. Don’t want to hurt someone’s whiny feelings. Glad I lived in an era that could enjoy, Lewis, Martin and Archie Bunker!
I grew up watching Jerry Lewis.....my favorite has always been Cinderfella. I would laugh to no end! He was such a great dancer!
These big screen productions were just amazing. You.will never find anything like this in today's movies.The choreography of these combined movie and music dance numbers were simply astonishing. Just think of how much work things of this nature were to produce. Jerry and other comedic actors at the time had to be multi talented to get roles like this one. Today's actors are not expected to do such a thing by film directors. This clip is a American classic and our children should be exposed to these film shorts and their place in American history.
That was some seriously frenetic dancing...made my heart race!
Everything Jerry ever did showed genius, grace, talent and that indescribable quality that elevates a performance from good to legendary.
That's very true!
I almost get angry when Jerry Lewis sates in interviews he is not a dancer. Just look at his footwork! Talent does not begin to describe this man. He CAN dance!
Absolutely!!!
He also had a beautiful singing voice when he wasn't putting his comedic flair in it. Check out the movie "Rock-A-Baby" when his sings this very beautiful love song.
@@TheRozberry The Nutty Professor one of my favs where he gets to act suave.
True he could truly dance.❤ I remember being amazed when I've seen this clip for the first time and the one in Rock a bye Baby.
I think he might have said he was a physical comedian which necessitated choreographed movements more than strictly dancing x
Growing up my parents & uncles , aunts use to watch Jerry & Martin all the time … I didn’t really get into it I was pretty young now that I’m older and wiser i get it .. GOOD OLE MOVIES ARE THW BEST..😊
So much talent on that dance floor. Amazing.
So sad to lose this man who made us laugh, cry and enjoy his incredible talent! Jerry Lewis you will be missed!
I worked for Southland where we all donated money for MDA Marathons. Once a year he would come to Tyler and I was always lucky enough to engage in conversation with him.! Such a sweet gentleman.
Fabulous dancing, talent with incredible cardio workout! Can't find this style anymore...
Love you, thanks for all the happy times you gave me as a kid!! I also thought you were one of the best looking men in hollywood!! RIP Mr. Lewis.
No matter what you might think of Lewis as a person, he was a true comedic genius. Those choreographed dance moves were amazing, and it took a lot of physical conditioning to be that active and in perfect time with the music.
Grew up watching Jerry n Dean...lol... Great combo!😀
How fabulous!! I had no idea he could dance! What crazy wild madness, I can't even imagine choreographing that!!
I was thinking the same thing. You have to be really good to make "crazy" dancing look like that.
lightasair44 Look back to the lindy hop era. I had the honour of working with Frankie Manning before his death. Frank was doing all this stuff long before this movie was made. Great performance by Jerry, yes, but not new for the time.
All performers learn from each other. It's a matter of whether you can do the act well not whether you did it first.
Jerry Lewis was the male Lucille Ball.
lightasair44 they sped up the film.
He was my childhood crush! Loved all of his movies!
Amazing Amazing Amazing! He also played the drums. Seriously.
Watch his feet. He's not just blundering around. He's on time and he's GIVING it in those moves--so much energy! Fancy footwork and in time with his partner. That's a well executed routine. I saw comments that he didn't like to call himself a dancer. I wonder what that was all about because he's amazing at it.
The woman dancing the jitterbug with Jerry Lewis was Sheree North (1932-2005)....she was one of the best dancers of that era.
Whoa that horn player is amazing hitting those high notes!
Who in the world is that trumpet player???
@@elwoodblues9613 Maynard Ferguson was the trumpeter.
@@BrianWood-fj7ygIt definitely sounds like Maynard. In a high school English class we had to write to a famous person so I wrote to MF. Several months later I got a large envelope in the mail with a picture of him and a nice letter saying he was sorry it took so long to respond, but he'd been touring. I still have them.
I sure do miss when stars actually had talent like this. Thanks for posing ;).
Jerry Lewis was a very skilled dancer. But hardly anyone knew it. Because acting & dancing silly was what he was known for.
What talent! When I was a little girl I saw every Jerry Lewis movie. I still enjoy them!
I grew up watching jerry lewis. He was the cartoon of my childhood. As we all get older. You realise what a wonderful and very intelligent man he was.
RIP my wonderful man. 💕💕
Jerry dancing with Cosmo Kramer 's Mom.
Amazing!!!
definitely mixed reviews on Jerry Lewis but no one can deny the man had talent. He was born to entertain and he sure did entertain a LOT of people for a good long time. RIP Jerry
Incredible! Showed both dancing and comedic talent at the same time, and high-paced. YUP. He was a genius.
Merci. Je connaissais Jerry Lewis comme acteur comique. Je découvre qu'il était également un très bon danseur.
Jerry Lewis had so much talent and athletic ability that he his so perfectly. Cannot say enough about what he did with the MDA telethons. God bless him
Jerry Lewis was an extraordinary talent. Sheree North is Jerry Lewis' partner. She was better known as mostly a dramatic actress right into the 90's. Trivia: she was Kramer's mom on Seinfeld.
She really looked a lot like Marilyn Monroe.
More trivia: Sheree North also played Blanche's sister Virginia on The Golden Girls
She was Kramer ‘s mom ?? Awesome trivia!
kramers mom or Georges

Kramers
Well never see talent like this again on the screen
I didn't know that Jerry Lewis was so widely talented.Marvelous to watch.Thank you!
Amazing talent all the way around in this video!
Not only dancing but musicianship and the choreography is absolutely out of this world!
I always loved watching Jerry Lewis movies! What a great way to makes smiles. Thank you.
Jerry Lewis- a real pro at his game. talent oozed out the man.
Maynard Ferguson Gives It the Ultimate Excitement on Trumpet !! Thanks Maynard for those incredible moments !!
Yes, I thought that had to be Maynard. Nobody else sounds like that. What fire in his playing!
Wow! Never saw Jerry dance this dynamically before! Man was so talented and the way he mixed in a bit of goofiness was absolutely amazing! He and that Marilyn Monroe-looking lady were fantastic together!🤩
Love 💘 the old films and the actors who put so much of their lives into these!
Lewis always had the most gorgeous sets even in the 60s when he went solo. Beautiful set design.
Sheree North had some nice sets, too! 🤣🤣🤣
