I quite enjoyed Lewis's films as a youngster, as an adult I'd probably find the insufferable, still RIP.

We girls were all looking at Dean Martin when they were on the screen together.

actually it was France, not Germany, where Jerry Lewis was really highly regarded. See here : https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2013/07/french-love-jerry-lewis-paris

 

 

as for me, like most people, I didn't find Lewis's 1950s movies funny at all, even when I was a kid. For me his peak was his really excellent straight performance in Scorcese's King of Comedy.
