5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best of Jerry Lewis (as a comedy act) 1 Jun 2008
By Lou Knee
Format:DVD
Lewis directed and co-wrote this entertaining version of Jeckyl and Hyde. The story still hadn't been explored at every level on the screen, and Lewis devised a good scenario from which to forge a comedy narrative about a nerd chemistry teacher who has no luck with women etc, suddenly being converted into a super cool, ultra confident alter ego who has no trouble with anything in life when he drinks a special potion he (as the nerd scientist) developed. It is slapstick mingled with sentiment, and delivered in Lewis' goofiest, daffiest style. It should be pretty appalling then, and does actually veer quite close to be being so on occasion, but the vibrance of Lewis' energetic performance, the brilliance of the contrast between his two polar alter egos, and the sultry Stella Stevens as his muse make this an enjoyable experience. It isn't subtle and of course ends in a moralising tone, but if you want a pretty basic sort of laugh at some great physical humour and funny visuals then this could fit the bill. People do get sniffy about such obviously physical film comedians as Jerry Lewis and Norman Wisdom but take a look at a couple of scenes here for visual mastery and simple fun. This has to be Lewis at his best, whether you like his idiotic style or not, and this movie can even be seen as an 'I don't need Dean Martin' injoke, as he does seem to take on an uncanny resemblance to the glass holding crooner in his alter ego as Buddy Love. Has some great goofy lines in it as well such as 'Carbon Dioxide (voice changes to that of Buddy Love) has always been a gas.' Memorable film, a great twist on the story and very entertaining. DVD has some good extras too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jerry Lewis Almost Under Control 22 Mar 2004
By Peter Kenney
Format:DVD
THE NUTTY PROFESSOR is about an eccentric professor who discovers a liquid concoction which can transform him into a suave character in the style and manner of Dean Martin. For a Jerry Lewis film the antics are somewhat tame. Lewis plays the professor and Stella Stevens is his adoring student. The supporting cast includes Del Moore, Kathleen Freeman and Howard Morris.

The movie is saved by the acting and outstanding good looks of Miss Stevens. The Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde theme makes a decent story and the film also benefits from Jerry Lewis behaving as if he is almost under control.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Nutty Professor, DVD, Jerry Lewis. 17 April 2009
By D. Weaver
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This DVD of The Nutty Professor, with The great Jerry Lewis, in it. I ordered this on 16/02/09, for £14.95, worth every penny, he still makes me laugh out loud, even though this was made in 1963, the best of Jerry Lewis, he still the same today & still just as funny as ever. Would highly recommend this DVD for Kids & Adults alike.
