Don’t Turn the Channel, But Swim the Channel for This Winner!
It seems that the USS Cornblatt is missing. How can a USS Cornblatt be missing? Oh wait, Jerry Lewis was left in charge of it. In what I think is one of his best films, Jerry Lewis is at his funniest as he is trying to find this huge piece of metal, or else pay an exorbitant amount for it. But wait! He was just married and on his honeymoon, when he was shanghaied. Diana Spencer plays his new wife, and she is very good at being teasingly impatient. He tries to see his wife every chance he gets, but then he is quarantined to private quarters. Mabel Albertson is his mother who frowns on this inconvenience and especially the mention of Jerry’s father, who was absolutely no good, absolutely. And, when Ensign Benson, played deliciously by Dina Merrill, is assigned to help Jerry look for the destroyer, he keeps trying to keep her away from his wife. Part of the story is told by way of flashback, when Ensign Benson puts him into hypnosis! Also costarring Mickey Shaughnessy, Gale Gordon, and Claude Akins, this is a feel-good film all over. Up there with “The Delicate Delinquent,” this is simply Jerry Lewis at his best.

A Jerry Lewis film that non-fans (like me) may like.
Perhaps it’s because in this one, he has a strong supporting cast including Diana Spencer as his character’s bride, Dina Merrill as a Navy psychiatrist out to help him figure out where he left his ship, Mabel Albertson as the uppity mother-in-law and Gale Gordon as a hearing judge. The story includes many flashbacks of Lewis’s character begrudgingly made a naval officer, his inability to command a ship (looking at an instruction booklet to get it moving), dealing with Japanese soldiers stranded on an island who think the war is still going on, and other incidents which caused him to misplace his ship.

It’s also amusing to watch Lewis and Spencer struggle to have their honeymoon, his dealings with a parrot while stranded on a tree branch hanging over a steep cliff and an encounter with a large octopus. Lewis knows when to reign it in here so he never becomes over the top to the point where he’s obnoxious. Spencer and Merrill are good feminine support and appear to be having a great time making this. So while there are Lewis films I couldn’t stand, this is fortunately not one of them, and I found myself laughing more than groaning.
