Jerry Lewis became one of the biggest movie stars in the world thanks to his anarchic energy and his manic silliness. In 2004, Paramount released many of
Lewis' most famous film on DVD. One of those discs,
The Ladies Man, offers a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. English and French soundtracks have been rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by
Lewis and his good friend singer
Steve Lawrence that often lapses into stretches of silence. Also included are the original theatrical trailer, bloopers, footage of dance rehearsals for the film, and a public service announcement for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. This is a fine release that should thrill fans of the rubber-faced funnyman. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
