Though "My Fair Lady" scores big because it had Audrey Hepburn.<br /><br />I can't say I'm a fan of old Jerry Lewis movies, though I did like some of the Martin and Lewis stuff. Jerry Lewis was too slapstick for my taste. <br /><br />But honestly, the Eddie Murphy version in soooo bad that I found myself longing for Jerry Lewis to come and save me from the horror being inflicted upon me.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-78196243492688146682006-11-21T12:57:00.000-08:002006-11-21T12:57:00.000-08:00Well -- "ruin" is a relative term.

But how much worse could it be?<br /><br />I think <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054446/">Visit to a Small Planet</a> may be the best movie Jerry Lewis ever made, at least after the split from Dino -- surely the inspiration for Mork and Mindy.<br /><br />And in "Dr. Henry Higgins Talks to the Animals," isn't Rex Harrison playing the same role he played in My Fair Lady?<br /><br />Come to think of it, did Rex Harrison ever play other than a crusty sort? <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039420/">The Ghost and Mrs. Muir</a> comes to mind as another example....The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-71337939563249061592006-11-21T12:48:00.000-08:002006-11-21T12:48:00.000-08:00So many awful remakes have been made of quality fi...<i>So many awful remakes have been made of quality films. </i><br /><br />I could probably put up a post just about awful remakes.<br /><br />Right now Eddie Murphy tops the list for ruining good movies with Dr. Doolittle and his remake of the Nutty Professor.
