Come watch the 65th anniversary of the The Bellboy at the Coral Gables Cinema. This special event will include the attendance of Christopher J. Lewis, the acclaimed author and son of Jerry Lewis, who will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A after the screening. 

The directorial debut of the great comic genius Jerry Lewis was made on the cuff while he was performing at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. The iconic hotel’s spectacular midcentury modern décor provided a pristine backdrop for a series of brilliant silent-movie sight gags and audaciously self-referential moments (as when the movie star Jerry Lewis, played by one “Joe Levitch,” arrives for a gig).
