Rock-A-Bye Baby , Frank Tashlin, 1958, USA, Jerry Lewis, Marilyn Maxwell , Connie Stevens.
Review Preston Sturges comedy , The Miracle of Morgan's Creek designed as a vehicle for, perhaps, most controversial comedian in film history: Jerry Lewis , reviled and praised almost equally be said that has a legion of fans and a throng of crÃticos.A sometimes excessive, other intelligent and subversive, you can not deny its influence on some current comedians and their reworking of American comedy and creative capacity: actor, director, creator of his own gags ... undoubtedly an Author of the Comedy.
This film, shot before the maturity period of the singular comic who can put their passage from the direction of his own plays in 1960 and shortly after the breakup of the successful duo formed with Dean Martin over a decade from the mid-40's, has some interesting gag and other excessively elongated and overacting and with some intelligent criticism of American society (consumption and TV), social analysis of presence Lewis used in other parte.Dirigida by Frank Tashlin , regular contributor to the comic, with an aura of fantasy at times perhaps originated in the experience as a draftsman and in the field of animation as well as the filmmaker the use made in the work of Technicolor, the film features songs by the legendary composer Harry Warren and Sammy Cahn -with a theme of R'n'R rabid - and the involvement of the opera diva Baccaloni Salvatore.
How could it be otherwise, and consistent with the divergence of views on the multifaceted Jerry Lewis, the film is uneven, alternating humorous moments with others not so fortunate but keeping on the whole more positive elements than negative (as long as the viewer is not located within the polo Those who do not like Jerry Lewis , of \u200b\u200bcourse). Displays the controversy arises when this artist is named, the film has hiperactuación but with some very good ideas and findings "slapstick " perfectly executed.
