Movie Reviews of The Patsy
Movie Review: A Do-It-Yourself Famous
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Jerry Lewis' most arty film and remains a timely examination of the business of fame. It's also an unnerving examination of Lewis' unique place at the time, 1964: was he, ever the Kid, on the side of the Beatles' generation gap or was he, the Vegas man from the 1950's with roots in burlesque? He seems ambivalent, and that's the core of the post-Camelot, postmodern confusion of this beautiful film. The heart of this movie isn't as red-blooded as The Nutty Professor but it contains some of his greatest scenes: the sentimental flashback dance with Ina Balin, the outrageous slowburn catharsis with Hans Conried, and a deconstructed satirical pantomimicry ("I Lost My Heart In A Drive-In Movie") with the first air-guitar-on-a-necktie performance in history. If Nutty Professor is Lewis' City Lights, this is his Modern Times. Many of his routines here draw on earlier forms but there's a nervy confidence on screen that he's doing them in their ultimate updated presentation. The Patsy is a gasser, good for kids and adult in equal measure, and maybe his last perfect film.
