During this production Jerry Lewis attached a small video camera to the side of his 35mm camera, in effect, pioneering the "video assist" system that is standard on just about every feature film today.

Mostly filmed on one of the largest interior sets ever built. The full-scale replica of a multi-story sorority house, constructed to break way to accommodate camera movement, occupied an entire soundstage on the Paramount backlot.

When Jerry Lewis did his scene with Baby, the African Lion (a.k.a. Zamba), he had a gun in his inside pocket for protection.

Fun to watch but not really for its entire duration.

Good. Not as clever or as funny as Nutty Professor

Similar but not nearly as good as "The Bellboy".
