I think this is one Jerry Lewis's best films. Not only is it incredibly funny, but it evokes compassion (Mr.Wooley's relationship with the young boy is touching, and will make you cry) from the audience without being too sentimental. The Japanese setting is beautiful and exotic, and Miss Kimi is lovely and charming. No wonder Mr.Wooley prefers her to the cold American Sergeant Pearson (Suzanne Pleshette)! When Mr.Wooley accidentally knocks a big Hollywood actress down an airplane staircase--that has to be one of the funniest scenes in any Lewis film. This is a great family movie, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants good comedy with a touch of tenderness in it. It ranks right up there with "The Nutty Professor"(1963).
"The Geisha Boy" is one of Jerry Lewis' better films. This is because the film is rather sweet without being maudlin or saccharine. It also places more emphasis on the story as opposed to laughs...though it has a decent number of laughs as well--with the sort of hit or miss laughs you expect from such a movie.
When the film begins, Gilbert Wooley (Lewis) is flying along with his rabbit, Harry, on an Air Force plane bound for a USO tour of Japan. However, along the way, Gilbert (not unexpectedly) makes a total nuisance of himself. It ultimately results in him ripping the dress off an obnoxious but famous actress--and he is to be punished by being sent on a tour of the front lines in Korea. But during his bumbling, he impresses a little Japanese boy who apparently has been depressed. The boy instantly bonds with Gilbert and now there is a problem...how can Gilbert leave Japan following his Korean tour? After all, the kid sees him as his new step-father!
The film has a lot of goofy laughs but at heart is appears to actually be a re-working of the famous Chaplin film, "The Kid", and goes for those same sorts of heartwarming scenes between Jerry and the boy...and these work very well. I also think the film works well because it was neither written nor directed by Lewis and so the pacing was a bit better than some of his later films. Overall, a delightful film.

This movie came to debut when I was ten. It was the rabbit that made me want to go and see it several times. I find this one of Jerry Lewis' better movies, minus Dean Martin. While most of his movies are just stupid, this one had some heart and soul. It is a great movie for children and if it were made to day could only be improved with maybe some special effects. Baseball fans will love it for the scene involving the Los Angeles Dodgers who had just come west from Brooklyn.
Cute little comedy that I like. Too bad for Suzanne Pleshette, but Jerry stick to love has no boarder motto.
This and Marlon Brando's "Sayonara" surprises me in the friendly attitude the producers has towards the Japanese just 11 years after WWII. Also, the depiction of the Japanese culture is pretty accurate, although it's clear that the movie is not shot in Japan.
This movie was made 2 years after Jerry broke up with Dean, and he shows that he can well hold it on his own.
Shot beautifully, probably in Los Angeles, and few footage from Japan, this movie wouldn't bore you.

Only in America would we not see the absolute genius of one of our best talents EVER!! This movie shows some of his brilliance and without vulgarity or sexual innuendos....his nutty professor is a SOLID 10 yet its rated in the 6s. We give garbage like adam sandler, or borat higher scores. The magic of his comedy is world renown especially in France. You want proof watch Jerry's version of the nutty professor then watch Eddie Murphys version its night and day. He only made g rated comedies just using his physical and expressive talents, TRUE comedians know his genius. Billy crystal would be a usher without the influence of Jerry he is SORELY missed and him and Stan laurel will NEVER be matched!!!
¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaJerry Lewis had worked as an usher for Suzanne Pleshette's father Gene Pleshette at the Paramount Theater. When she auditioned, Lewis phoned Gene in disbelief.
- ErroresIn Japan, before entering a communal bath, one is required to shower first so as to be clean when entering the water. When Gilbert and Mitsuo walk up to the entrance door for the bath, both are completely dry. Public baths in Japan are nude, and Gilbert is shown to be wearing a pair of knee-length swim trunks under his robe, while Mitsui is correctly naked.
- Citas
Gilbert Wooley: Gee that's terrible. "The Oversexed Major." Besides soldiers can't be sexy. Not with the food the army gives them to eat.
