Jerry shmoozes about the Chairman Of The Board scene
FROM KENNNETH TYNAN'S DIARY: "At the Olympia: Jerry Lewis opens to a tout-Paris audience including Aznavour, Bardot, etc. His finesse, his daintiness, his delicate mimetic skill are riveting: cleverly adapting his act so that it avoids language (he speaks no French) and focuses on mime, song, gesture, dance and miming to music, he shows a command of vaudeville techniques such as I may never see again and such as this audience has probably never seen before. Miming to a thirties big-band record, he transforms its snarling riffs and growling trumpets into a bar-room brawl--brilliant!"
Jerry shmoozes about Pauline Kael
JERRY LEWIS: "Pauline Kael. She's never said a good thing about me yet. That dirty old broad. But she's probably the most qualified critic in the world. Cause she cares about film and those who are involved in it. I wish I could really rap her. But I can't. Cause she's very very competent. She's knows what she's talking about."
