The Family Jewels (1965)

One of the great Hollywood parodies, plus a film that stars Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, and you guessed it, Lewis.

The Errand Boy stars Lewis as window washer who’s hired by Paramutual Studios to spy on their back lot and uncover where all of the money is being spent. Lewis is a walking disaster zone, and the resulting mayhem serves up a hilariously satirical look at the mechanics of studio filmmaking. (92 mins., 35mm)

The Family Jewels, a newly orphaned 10-year-old must choose one guardian from six uncles in order to receive a vast inheritance. She’s driven from uncle to uncle (all played by Lewis) by the beloved family chauffeur (also Lewis) in a gag-filled attempt to find the right match. (99 mins., 35mm)
