40KDer Ladenhüter: Directed by Frank Tashlin. With Jerry Lewis, Jill St. John, Ray Walston, John McGiver. Norman Phiffier works as a store clerk in a large department store. Clumsy and inept, he can’t do anything right. Boy are they in trouble!
“Not my Favorite J.L. Film, (that would be Errand Boy), but delightful, nonetheless. Great physical comedy and some lightweight satire (u0026quot;a man has to be king of his own ranch style tract homeu0026quot;).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe woman who played Jane Hathaway in Beverly Hillbillies makes a cameo appearance as a Big Game Hunter looking for a new rifle in the Sporting Dept., where Jerryu0026#39;s Character is working the counter. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe usual slapstick devices come into play such as the golf bag sch tick (you know, the one), the golf ball going out the window…making, letu0026#39;s just say..multiple bounces along its journey, and of course. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe exercise bicycles on the mattress, and ensuing endurance jog make my side hurt with laughter. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHome sick from work or school, either from a cold or the bad ironic humor that pervades your weekdays? This is your film. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you donu0026#39;t like Jerry, you have no soul.”
