Probably Jerry Lewis's most enduring film, and the one that sparked a critical reappraisal of his entire ouvre, this variation on The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll has inspired not only a 1996 Eddie Murphy remake and followup but an animated direct-to-video sequel and a proposed Broadway musical version directed by Jerry with music by the late Marvin Hamlisch. Look for an impossibly young Henry Gibson in a miniscule role in his first feature.

Is that Leslie Nielsen's voice on the trailer? Which makes me think it's kind of surprising no one ever did a Naked Gun type take off on these vigilante movies. Maybe it's too narrow a genre for that kind of satire, but Nielsen rampaging through the streets, killing off muggers played by Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves and Robert Stack, while being tracked by hardnose cop William Shatner, might have been pretty good.

One of my absolute favorite Charles Bronson films alongside Once Upon A Time in the West, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, 10 To Midnight and The Mechanic.
