Originally titled Smorgasbord, it was filmed in 1981-82 and only received limited distribution in the United States. It was the final film directed by Lewis before his death in 2017. The film marked a one-time reunion with Bill Richmond, Lewis' screenwriting collaborator on such films as The Nutty Professor and The Patsy. PlotWarren Nefron (Jerry Lewis) is a klutz who cannot do anything right. He tells his psychiatrist, Dr. Pletchick (Herb Edelman), his problems. Through a series of flashbacks the viewer sees Nefron's life story.[3][4][5] Warren is such a failure that even his many attempts to commit suicide fail. Eventually the psychiatrist uses hypnosis to cure Warren. Although Warren is now cured, the psychiatrist has experienced transference and now has all of Nefron's problems. The story ends with Warren and a young woman attending a film called Smorgasbord. Cast
ProductionIt includes many cameos, including Sammy Davis Jr.,[7] Dick Butkus,[8] and Milton Berle.[9] In December 1982, after filming completed, Lewis underwent triple-bypass heart surgery at the Desert Springs Hospital, Las Vegas NV. HighlightsThe film is a series of short comic skits, set-pieces, and black-out gags, unified by Nefron's attempt to overcome his phobias and malaise, fit into society, find meaning, and achieve happiness. The opening credit sequence is a tour-de-force performance of Nefron (Lewis) unable to get traction on the furniture and floor of his doctor's waiting room (a wry comment, under the pratfalls, on vinyl and plastic decor) and has justifiably become a fan favorite. Other highlights are when Nefron tries to order dinner from a waitress who insists on listing every option on the menu (done in a whiny nasally voice), a Southern sheriff with a glove problem (Lewis, who plays at least two other parts as well), and a running gag involving Nefron's attempts to quit smoking. ReleaseThe film was released theatrically in some European countries, notably France (where it was released on April 13, 1983 by Warner Bros.), Belgium and Italy. It was given a limited release in U.S. theatres, going at first directly to cable and on videocassette. In May 1985 it was given a two-day run at New York's Thalia Theater,[10] under its original title, double-billed with The King of Comedy. It later played a smattering of revival houses, art cinemas,[11] and film festivals. The film screened as part of the 'Jerry Lewis: The Total Filmmaker' program at the 2016 Melbourne International Film Festival (28 July – 14 August).[12][13][14] Home mediaWarner Archive released the film on made-to-order DVD in the United States on May 18, 2010,[15][16][17]Reception
