Jerry Lewis’ The Ladies Man (1961) is yet another work of genius, featuring Jerry Lewis as a girl-hating bachelor who winds up working in a boarding house packed with sexy, available young women. Most of this virtually plotless film is set in the astonishing three-story set with open walls and winding staircases and Lewis‘ camera glides freely up and down, in and out all the rooms. Some of the gags go on too long […] but others are pure delight.Jeffrey M. Anderson

The Ladies Man is very much a piece of cinema of a bygone era, which brings to mind of the age old adage of “they don’t make them like that anymore”.Adam Batty
