The Patsy (1964) Jerry Lewis Bellhop Jacket
THE PATSY - Stanley Belt (Jerry Lewis) - Bellhop jacket. This red bellhop jacket was worn by the character “Stanley Belt” portrayed by legendary comedic actor Jerry Lewis in the 1964 motion picture “The Patsy”, also starring Peter Lorre and John Carradine. The jacket was custom tailored for Mr. Lewis by Sy Devore and comes complete with the original tag listing the actor’s name “Jerry Lewis” and production date “1-8-64” clearly printed. Mr. Lewis appears wearing the jacket at the beginning of the film when Stanley delivers ice to the hotel room of a comedy team that is struggling to find a replacement to fill the shoes of their recently deceased star comedian. Stanley is backed off the balcony of the room and is then pictured in various falling poses next to the opening credits. The jacket is in good vintage screen worn condition with some evidence of age and comes accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house. Apart from starring in “The Patsy”, Jerry Lewis also co-wrote and directed the film. The movie featured actor Peter Lorre’s last onscreen performance and the costumes used on the production were created by legendary designer Edith Head.
