The Errand Boy
In his second directorial effort, Jerry Lewis’ offbeat antics revolve around oblivious production assistant Morty Tashman (played by Lewis himself), hired to observe and report on the inner-workings of “Paramutual Pictures.” Misadventure gives way to misanthropy as Lewis reveals Tashman’s disheartenment through interactions with members of Hollywood’s filmmaking community.
While a criticism of the role of celebrity and the movie industry, the film is not totally cynical, as Lewis’ charm and eccentric performance emphasize the importance of laughter and active imagination. Balancing idiosyncratic physical humor with biting cultural commentary, The Errand Boy is a film for all ages; kids will revel in Lewis’ customary quirkiness, while adults will appreciate his subtly mature thematic ruminations.
