Jerry gets committed....

This is the kind of movie most Lewis fans cite when talking about his best.

And why not? "The Disorderly Orderly" pairs Lewis with a good director (Tashlin), apt foils (especially Freeman), supremely funny moments (check out his "sympathy pains") and just the right amount of bathos in spots to give his character not just a clown but a good-hearted, hard-working, sympathetic clown.

And as most come to expect with this kind of movie, slapstick is the prevalent language throughout and if you don't speak it, you won't understand it here. I do, and I did.

See, and they said he wouldn't make it without Dean.

Eight stars. Classic slapstick carnage with a classic slapstick idol.
