Review of The Ladies Man (1961) by Aaron C — 22 Jun 2012

This ranks among the greatest works of Jerry Lewis, additionally it is criminally underrated. While The Nutty Professor is a fantastic film and makes excellent social commentary, this film is a great example deconstructing and poking fun at masculinity.

What makes this better, though, is the massive and artistically made set piece which almost seems like a living organism rather than a set piece. The Ladies Man impresses on all levels and makes for a fantastic comedy and deserves remembering far more than it's been handed.
