Classic Friday : The Disorderly Orderly (1964) 8/10

Starring : Jerry Lewis, Glenda Farrell, Everett Sloane, Karen Sharpe, Kathleen Freeman, Susan Oliver
Director : Frank Tashlin
Running Time : 86 mins

Jerome Littlefield (Lewis) is too squeamish to become a doctor, so he's settled on working as an orderly at the Whitestone Sanitorium. Yet even working in such a seemingly basic job role, Jerome still manages to cause chaos wherever he goes, even more so when his favourite actress Susan Andrews (Oliver) comes to stay at the sanitorium and he finds himself instantly smitten with her.

This is one of Lewis's more formulaic movies, revolving around him fancying someone while someone fancies him, and along the way he falls over a lot and knocks things down, but Lewis's comic genius makes this another marvel to watch, filled with fun antics and silly visual humour.
