Who's Minding The Store? (1963)

When a wealthy department store heiress (Agnes Moorehead) discovers to her horror that her daughter (Jill St. John) is in love with a dog walker (Jerry Lewis), she plots to discredit him by hiring him for her department store and giving him the worst jobs possible. Right after directing and starring in his masterful THE NUTTY PROFESSOR, Lewis turned the directorial reins back to Frank Tashlin and the result is this infectious piece of silliness that ranks with the best of Lewis and Tashlin. Plot wise, the idea of having Lewis working in various departments of the store allows for all sorts of hilarious mayhem whether it's fitting shoes on a lady wrestler, selling an elephant gun to a great white hunter (Nancy Kulp), eating toasted ants in the gourmet shop or a vacuum cleaner running amok and sucking up everything from wigs off heads to Chihuahuas! It's Lewis' show all the way but a glam looking Moorehead is quite amusing doing a Bette Davis act. With Ray Walston, John McGiver, Isobel Elsom, Kathleen Freeman, Richard Deacon and Francesca Bellini.
