Anecdotes
About eight minutes into the film, Jerry Lewis (as the chauffeur) sits down to listen to a phonograph record. It's his son's band's (Gary Lewis & The Playboys) biggest hit, "This Diamond Ring."

Gaffes
After Capt. Peyton falls out of the taxiing Tri-motor and is chasing it, only one of the three engines is running, the center one. A moment later when the Capt. Peyton is being chased by the taxiing Tr-Motor, all three engines are running.

Donna Peyton: It says all about how you fought a bunch of robbers in Halloween masks who were trying to rob a bank truck.
Willard Woodward: Yeah, I see. Some hero, I didn't even know it. And it's a good thing, if I did, I would have been scared.

All in the "Family"...

I'll give Lewis credit: even though this one isn't on par with the uproarious stuff he and Dean Martin did or even with "The Disorderly Orderly" or "The Nutty Professor", "The Family Jewels" shows Lewis doing what he does best.

Running amok.

Playing no less than seven characters here, Lewis changes costumes, accents and venues but stays just as addled in all of them. This time, he plays a chauffeur who takes care of a little girl (Butterworth, a novice here and since) and shuttles her between six brothers (all Lewis again) who vie to be guardian of her and the millions of dollars she will inherit.

Of course, it's interesting to see that he brings back (in shape only) his character from "The Nutty Professor". Good to see him.

And only Lewis could make a slapstick free-for-all in which Anne Baxter makes a cameo.

It's good, nutty fun for all and definitely a better choice than his later work. "The Family Jewels" - definitely a "Jewel" in the rough.

Eight stars.
