I like the format, but it needs the other information that is on the current list...character name, and the notes. Also, this is a filmography and shouldn't list his Broadway work or the tours he took with the play...nor should it include the TV appearances (Ed Sullivan) in the film list. The list should be the exact same on that is already there, just in a new format. And, links to the wiki articles on the film should be included. Donaldd23 (talk) 02:18, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The role name probably won't work well because of formatting which will make the chart too large. Also, to be honest, with the links to the films included, thanks to your valuable additions, I don't think we really need his role name here. Because of the check marks, most of the notes aren't needed. The few that are we'll have to deal with somehow afterwards. Thoughts? --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 03:42, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the character name is more important than the Studio. Look at other filmographies on wikipedia and you will see that Character name is an important addition, while the studio that made the film is irrelevant. Also there should be a distinction, like there is now, between the Martin & Lewis films and the solo films. Donaldd23 (talk) 11:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing the studio name with the character seems OK. I can also add a column with check mark to indicate the M&L films. Can you do the replacing of studio names and I'll add movie links and the new M&L column, plus rename the the studio column? --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 17:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see what other users have to say, plus I will look into the wiki rules for Filmographies. If there is already a standard format then that is the one we should be using...not just creating our own. Thanks! Donaldd23 (talk) 23:22, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Kimba[edit]

Google search only gives this page as a source for this, but many coincidental and irrelevant instances of Jerry Lewis and Kimba. MartinSFSA (talk) 01:12, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move[edit]

Jerry Lewis performances → Jerry Lewis filmography – Currently, that's what it is. Unless stage/theatre work was to be added, let's call it what it is -- like the other filmography pages. --Musdan77 (talk) 03:56, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After over two weeks with no reply (no objections), I shall make the change. --Musdan77 (talk) 22:49, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bela Lugosi meets a Brooklyn Gorilla.[edit]

A Jerry Lewis film so rare it is not in his filmography. Bela plays a mad scientist playing with evolution. Jerry is the slap happy stooge trying to help his friend who Bela has turned into a gorilla. Filmed in 1952. Available to view free on youtube. 2603:7080:6601:6CB1:1497:7004:E720:C34C (talk) 17:45, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jerry Lewis is not in this film, it is Jerry Lewis imitator Sammy Petrillo DonaldD23 talk to me 21:50, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
