The Ladies Man

Stanley Sugarman, a naive and innocent young man, has recently graduated from college and is looking for a job. His mother died when he was young, and he was raised by his father, who was a bachelor and a womanizer. Stanley is constantly reminded of his father's philandering ways and vows to never be like him. He takes a job as a handyperson at a mansion where he meets a cast of eccentric female characters, each with their own romantic entanglements and desires.

The Ladies Man was met with mixed to negative reviews upon its release. While Jerry Lewis's comedic performance was noted, the film's plot and humor were often criticized as being overly simplistic and at times tiresome. It did not achieve the same critical acclaim as some of Lewis's earlier works.

• Jerry Lewis's signature slapstick and physical comedy is on full display.
• The film relies heavily on Lewis's persona, with a somewhat thin and repetitive plot.
• Some found the humor dated and the ensemble cast of female characters to be underutilized.

The distinctive, elaborate mansion set used in the film was a massive, custom-built structure constructed specifically for the movie, designed to be filled with dozens of female characters. It was one of the largest sets ever built for a Paramount Pictures comedy at the time.
