TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Jerry Lewis' musical entrance down the grand staircase was done in one take, a Lewis trademark. But his seven-second rush up the same sixty-three steps put too much of a strain on his heart and landed him in the hospital. In a 2011 interview, Lewis said he suffered his first heart attack while making this movie.

Jerry Lewis commissioned Norman Rockwell to do this movie's promotional art.

The dream car in the movie is the Golden Sahara, built by custom car king George Barris in 1955, based on a 1953 Lincoln Capri.

Some exteriors were shot at the Bel Air, California mansion also used in The Beverly Hillbillies (1962), which later became the home of "Dynasty" producer Aaron Spelling.

Paramount wanted to release this in the summer of 1960, but Jerry Lewis insisted it should be a Christmas attraction. The only way the studio would agree to the delay was if Lewis provided another film for their summer slate, so Lewis wrote, produced, directed and starred in "The Bellboy," which was made in a record four weeks and rushed into release that July. Both films were hits, and contributed to Lewis being ranked 11th among the Top Box Office Stars of 1960.

Popular Dialogues

"Cinderfella: [Fella reading from the engraving on a ring] To Fella: Love thy neighbor. Love him hard and well. The love that you give will be returned and manifested in itself, to give back the warmth and the care and the affection, as well as the hugs and the loves of those who have loved. To live and not to love could be affectionate, but yet warmth would still maintain itself in the love that you give to them. Oh, others have loved in the past and yet have found that they couldn't be hate. So with love it is the beneficial part of giving. Many children in the past have loved and yet found that they couldn't possibly know anyone with kissing and wisdom with hugging..."

"Fairy Godfather: [Fella has fainted] Jack and Jill! Fetch a pail of water! [Jack and Jill magically appear and dump water on Fella]"
