Movie review – “Don’t Raise the Bridge Lower the River” (1968) *1/2

Jerry Lewis tries to revive his career with a move to swinging London and a new director (Jerry Paris) but the result is one of the dumbest movies of his career. He plays a man hooked on get rich quick schemes much to the annoyance of his wife (Jacqueline Pearce) – although he’s got enough money to run around the world. She gets annoyed so leaves him – he tries to get her back and make money at the same time. Patchy, idiotic, slow paced, not logical – not even Terry Thomas’ appearance in the cast can help.
