#5  Jerry Lewis's schtick was OK when it was current, i.e. the '50's. It didn't age well.
Although, "King of Comedy" is interesting in a "Jerry Lewis meets Taxi Driver" kind of way. I recommend it.
When Jim Carey started recyling Lewis's whole schtick, it basically left me flat.

#4  His appeal and humor eluded me. He had a long life.
