Tem os seus momentos - especialmente gra�as � boa sacada de fazer Lewis se destacar como soldado -, mas � irregular e longo demais.

I only know of two Jerry Lewis I've seen, this one and "The Geisha Boy." I enjoyed the latter a lot more, and remember much more from it. But this one was entertaining as well.
