The Family Jewels (1965)
Posted in 1965
Nine-year-old Donna Peyton is orphaned when her father dies and leaves her with a $30 million fortune. Her late father’s attorney, John Wyman, explains that she must visit each of her six uncles (all played by Jerry Lewis) and decide which of them will become her new “father.”
One of the most underappreciated comic actor/writer/directors. In “The Family Jewels” he attempts to play every single member of a family of brothers…and pulls it off successfully. All these Lewis characters are funny and quirky, and this movie is consistently entertaining all the way through. Note the similarites between the voice of the airline pilot Peyton brother and the voice of Paul Reubens’ Pee-Wee Herman. The plot here involves a young girl who must live with one of her uncles, and her search for the uncle she likes best. But that’s mostly an excuse to let Lewis show off his incredible comedic character talents. Sometimes downright cartoonlike.
