Thanks for the memories Jerry Lewis (1926-2017)

One of favorite comedians In which I had the pleasure to see his motion pictures either in the former Canal Zone in Panama at the theater in Diablo Panama and on television in America Jerry Lewis passed away on Sunday at the age 91. The movie roles I will remember was the movie "The Disorderly Orderly" where he played the role of Jerome Littlefield who made his boss Doctor Jean Howard (Glenda Farrell) mad as a hornet when he messed up his assignments at a rest home. I remember Doctor Howard telling Jerome with a harsh tone in her voice "Don't try so hard." when he messed up his work as an orderly in a rest home. His other role I remember was the movie " The Sad Sack" where he played the role of Private Meredith C Bixby when one his sergeant Elmer Pulley (Gene Evans) said in a conversation "When I was a soldier in Panama." You should have my reaction when I read that line in the movie when I saw the movie on television in Metairie "Those were the days when we all had fun watching the canal for the U S government." Even though Jerry has passed away today, his body of work remains for all of us to enjoy for years to come.
