Initially Jerry Lewis was part of a comedy team with pal Dean Martin, and when he was signed by Paramount in the late 1940s, it is safe to say he was not considered leading man material. But Jerry quickly proved how valuable he was to the studio, and even after he and Martin broke up in 1956, his movie career stayed hot. He directed his first picture in 1960 at Paramount. And before he was done with the company in 1965, he had been in 35 of the studio’s films, most of them quite profitable.
Check out:
THE DELICATE DELINQUENT (1957)
DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP (1959)
