A 1960 comedy film, starring and directed by Creator/JerryLewis (in his directorial debut). Lewis plays Stanley, an [[TheVoiceless unspeaking]], well-meaning but [[TheKlutz klutzy]] hotel bellboy whose eager efforts to please the guests inevitably lead to [[HilarityEnsues disastrous mishaps]].
!!This film contains examples of:
*AsHimself: In addition to his role as Stanley, Jerry Lewis also appears as himself, visiting the hotel with a ridiculously large entourage. Creator/MiltonBerle also appears as himself.
*TheCameo: Creator/MiltonBerle.
*DoubleVision: Both Jerry Lewis and Milton Berle play hotel bellboys as well as playing themselves, leading to [[DoubleTake dual double takes]] when "Real Berle" sees "Bellboy Lewis" and "Real Lewis" sees "Bellboy Berle".
*ExactWords: The doorman instructs Stanley to "get everything out of the trunk" of a guest's car. Stanley opens the rear panel to discover that the car has a rear-mounted engine. Undaunted, he carries the entire engine up to the guest's room.
*OhGodWithTheVerbing: The character of [[AsHimself Jerry Lewis]] shouts "Stop with the brushing" three times to an over-helpful assistant.
*RandomEventsPlot: Lampshaded in the introduction, in which a studio executive (played by Jack Kruschen) informs us that the film we are about to see contains "no story and no plot. It is actually a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal series of silly sequences]]."
*SuddenlyVoiced: After being silent throughout the entire film, Stanley finally speaks when [[YouDidntAsk directly asked]] "Can't you talk?"
*UltimateJobSecurity: Stanley manages to keep his job despite causing all manner of chaos.
*TheVoiceless: Stanley.
