Jerry Lewis definitely won't appeal to everyone, and in this case, he didn't appeal to me either. I like the classic contrast, but I don't like that he had to take it to such absurdities, like that crazy face of his professor. Perhaps it could have been done a bit more sparingly. The finale would still have resonated quite powerfully.
