Classic Friday : Rock-A-Bye Baby (1958) 7/10

Starring : Jerry Lewis, Marilyn Maxwell, Connie Stevens
Director : Frank Tashlin
Running Time : 99 mins

When Hollywood actress Carla Naples (Maxwell) finds herself pregnant with triplets, she decides that in order to protect her career from being destroyed she will send her children off to live with her childhood sweetheart, Clayton Poole (Lewis). Clayton finds himself having to take care of the three lively toddlers, and people start to ask questions about where the children have come from...

Not one of Lewis's best outings, but still very entertaining. Although a little schmaltzy in places - obviously because of the babies being involved - there is still enough slapstick to keep any Lewis fan entertained, and believe me you won't be disappointed if you enjoy his usual antics.
