Jerry Lewis is too over-the-top for my taste in this movie. His slapstick antics are just too much. There were some funny bits that made me laugh (watch for the young nurse's exasperated look to camera), but I did not like the random comedy scenes thrown in that didn't add to the story. These scenes made the movie feel disjointed.
However, Kathleen Freeman as Nurse Higgins was wonderful! If you like old slapstick you may want to watch this movie just for her role--especially her melt-down scene. Love it.
