* CopiouslyCreditedCreator: Produced, directed, wrote, and starred in many of his films starting with ''Film/TheBellboy'' as well as playing multiple roles in ''Film/{{The Nutty Professor|1963}}'' and ''The Family Jewels''. Needing a way to direct himself on the spot without relying on dailies, he is also credited with developing modern video playback on movie sets[[note]]which allows cast and crew to immediately review performances without having to wait for film stock to be developed and delivered for screening[[/note]].

His considerable technical skills began when he was expelled from High School (for duking the Principal who'd made an anti-Semitic remark) and had to attend a Vocational-Technical School. Before leaving school entirely (at age 16) he spent the rest of that year working in electrical and mechanical shop.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: He often did gags of this nature in his films, especially the final scene of ''The Patsy'', where his character falls over a ledge, but moments later Lewis walks back into frame and breaks character, reassuring co-star Ina Balin that it's all just a movie, and it ends with them walking off the set together past the crew members.

Golden Age is a disambig.


While his career stretched across more than seven decades, Lewis is generally considered to have been [[GoldenAge at his peak]] in the [[TheFifties 1950s]] (when [[ComedyDuo he worked with]] Music/DeanMartin as one half of Creator/MartinAndLewis) and the early [[TheSixties '60s]].
