Jerry Lewis is Kreton, a childish alien who, against his teacher’s will leaves his planet to visit the Earth, and lands in the backyard of a famous television journalist who doesn’t believe in U.F.O’s and aliens. Wanting to study humans but not able to fully understand them, Kreton makes a mess out of it, generating a lot of comic situations.
Film version of Gore Vidal’s stage hit was later re-made as TV’s Mork and Mindy. UFO movies in the 50′s and early 60′s usually dealt with unfriendly, intellectually superior aliens out to kill helpless and somewhat naive humans. Then comes Jerry Lewis as a friendly, intellectually lacking alien who is out to study the “human condition.” Most of the gags have been used and reused again on countless sitcoms but they are done well. Great character actors give hilarious supporting performances. Supposedly Gore Vidal was not happy with this version of his play. I’ve seen Vidal on TV many times over the years and never once ever seen him laugh or smile so maybe he has a different definition of comedy than the rest of the planet.
