The French have lavished Jerry Lewis with bouquets throughout his career, while our love song for the madcap comedian has been lodged in our throat. But critic Chris Fujiwara's persuasive new tome argues why Lewis' schizoid genius is on level with the holy trilogy of Chaplin-Keaton-Lloyd, while Anthology offers support with a rare, crackerjack retrospective of his self-directed films. The nine-pic series is bookended by his experimental debut The Bellboy and selfsame adieu Cracking Up, while The Ladies Man features a glorious dollhouse set and The Nutty Professor provides a fantastic antidote for Eddie Murphy's.
