Comment
"Visit to a Small Planet" is the first film that touches the subject of alien visitors our planet, in the key of comedy. Remember that this film came at the end of a decade of science-fiction had become a reflection of the fears of the human being out by invasions, plagues or nuclear accidents (clear reflection of the Cold War, the atomic age and the fear of the unknown including outer space): "The Thing from Another World "(1951)," The War of the Worlds "(1953)," Invaders from Mars "(1953)," Invasion of the Body Snatchers "(1956), etc ... are clear examples. It was necessary to dramatize the genre, and to do no better than Jerry Lewis simpa.
almost certainly "Visit to a Small Planet" was the inspiration for the hit sitcom that premiered shortly after the theme principal were the adventures of a wild Institute in our planet: "My Favorite Martian / My Favorite Martian" (1963-6). This series will give way to others such as "Mork and Mindy" (1978-82), "ALF" (1986-90) and "Rock from the Sun / 3rd Rock from the Sun" (1996-2001) and films like "My Stepmother is an Alien "(1988) and" What Planet Are You From? "(2000).
The film was created as a satirical play written by the famous essayist and writer Gore Vidal. Of course, when he moved to the cinema became a popular vehicle for Jerry Lewis, who is at the height of his career with movies as "The Delicate Delinquent" (1957), "The Sad Sack" (1958), "The Geisha Boy" (1958), "The Bellboy" (1960), "Cinderfella" (1960), "The Ladies Man" (1961 ) and "The Nutty Professor" (1963). Gore Vidal had written his work as a satire on the Cold War and witch hunts of Senator Joseph McCarthy, including a second section Kreton (the alien), having lost the Civil War, decided to start his own war and causes chaos with weapons of mass destruction. In the movie version, the satire is gone out the window and the film became a light comedy suited to the personality of Jerry Lewis. In fact, it is impossible to deduce what Gore Vidal was trying to satirize in his play (I must say that Gore Vidal was very unsatisfied final outcome of the film).
Although it is generally a critically maligned film, "Visit to a Small Planet" has to be seen for what it is, a service of histrionic nonsense Lewis offers us that in almost all his films, dolls, fuss , jokes, ... These antics that make us all grace, truth. With inspired moments and very funny scenes. Norman Taurog, a light comedy director best known for a series of Elvis Presley films and others of the genre, like "Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" (1965), carries the film with a dizzying pace, without stopping, so crazy. So much so that sometimes seems to just be a succession of "gags" without any frame. The film also offers an amusing look at the Beat Generation (the best of the film).
I said, a comedy made for the greater glory of the sympathetic Lewis. To view and uninhibited fun. And I must confess, I love the voice of the doubles in the movies of that era. Loud, "Plan 9."
