The Bellboy Original Lobby Card Signed By Jerry Lewis
The Bellboy Original Lobby Card Signed By Jerry Lewis No one thought Jerry Lewis could pull it off. Starring and directing in a motion picture. However, he did just that. The famous Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami made him a deal. If he would perform every night, they would give him total access to their entire resort during the day to shoot wherever and whatever he wanted. This became the comedy classic "The Bellboy", basically a series of hysterical sight gags as Jerry tried to go about his daily duties. Inspired by the great silent comic legends including Chaplin, Keaton and Tati (especially his masterpiece "Mr. Hulot's Holiday", which a great deal of "The Bellboy" resembles), much of the film is without dialogue, depending on carefully timed visual vignettes. The movie was made quickly on a tight budget, and became one of the top five box office hits of 1960's. Of course this began a long series of brilliant and successful comedies staring and directed by Jerry Lewis, or as the French began to call after "The Bellboy" was released: "Les Enfants Terribles" of directors. This is an original Lobby Card signed by Jerry Lewis. Card is 14"x11".
