Who's Minding the Store

Buy This Item Who's Minding the Store by Paramount Home Video  Available from Amazon  $9.95  on 10-31-2008     I remember this film for the classic scene of Jerry Lewis acting out Leroy Anderson's musical piece "The Typewriter." This scene has no dialog and highlights Lewis's talents with just hands and face. The movie calls Lewis's character into the Tuttle department store for a job interview; when he discovers an empty HR department, Jerry Lewis wanders over to an empty chair with a manual typewriter. He does amazing solo comic work by imitating the music perfectly on the typerwriter, each keystroke mimicked with high-flying fingers, even down to the chimes that signal a carriage return; his facial expressions and body language are amazing. I would never have imagined that watching someone type could be so hilarious, but this shows off Lewis' comic skills beautifully. <br /> <br />The huge store gags described in other reviews are also funny, but this scene acts as a quiet counterpoint - equally funny.
