Monday, 16 November
About

Chris Lewis, Jerry Lewis’s son, presents a programme of Jerry Lewis’s early 1950s 16mm home movies as part of the 80 Years of Martin and Lewis season. The films—never before screened in the UK—include AN EYE FOR AN EYE, COME BACK LITTLE SHIKSA, and A SUITE AT THE SANDS, plus footage from celebrity premieres and parties. These works offer a glimpse of Lewis experimenting beyond the Hays Code and studio system. The event features an introduction and Q&A with Chris Lewis. Before the screening, Chris will sign copies of his book ‘Jerry Lewis on Being a Person’, and signed Nutty Professor posters will be available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the Cinema Museum’s campaign for a permanent home.
