The Bellboy was one of my favorites when I was a kid. It was really just a
collection of comedy blackouts and the fact that it was (I seem to remember)
totally without dialogue also helped. Pure slapstick, like the silents.
Years later I saw Jacques Tati and realized where Jerry's inspiration came
from.

Cinderfella is definitely one of Jerry's best films along with the Bellboy
& Delicate Delinquent

Jerry has sold the rights for remakes of three of his best Paramount
films from the 1960s:
The Bellboy -- original was shot at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami --
it's a real comedy tour-de-force for Jerry
Cinderfella -- I've never seen this one but I know others in MOPO
think highly of it
The Family Jewels -- Jerry plays seven roles in this film in which a
little heiress is being courted by her strange selection of
relatives. I loved this when I was a kid and will never forget how
funny the airplane sequence was with the in-flight movie!
