Description

Imagine calling the cops to restore law and order – and Jerry Lewis shows up? In his first film without longtime partner Dean Martin, Lewis plays Sidney Pythias, a bumbling janitor caught up in the middle of a gang rumble. Mistaken for a member of the switchblade set, Sidney is encouraged to undergo a 180-degree transformation – from street hoodlum to full-fledged policeman! Darren McGavin (A Christmas Story) is the reluctant law enforcement officer who must mold Lewis into a respectable man-in-blue at the Police Academy. But with all the chaos, disorder and trouble Sidney manages to unleash during his training and development, just who will the police call for help?!

    I was a kid when this movie came out, I loved it then, & I still love it now. I like Jerry as the clown, but when he's not playing the clown I like him even better. In this movie you get both, the serious side comes out, & he's the kind of guy you'd want by your side as your partner. If I had to pick my favorite Jerry Lewis show it would be The Nutty Professor, but believe me The Delicate Delinquent is a very close 2nd.
