The Patsy

3:22:07

- Hi, this is Steve Lawrence.
- This is Jerry Lewis sitting with him.

3:22:11

- And what are we watching?
- We're watching The Patsy,

3:22:15

a Paramount release.

3:22:18

Good opening.

3:22:22

- White socks you wore in every picture.
- Always.

3:22:26

It's like corrective feet.

3:22:28

Did you know that Gene Kelly never wore
the same colour sock as his trousers?

3:22:34

- It brought the focus to his feet.
- Same thing with Astaire.

3:22:40

- David Raksin?
- Yes. What a thrill that was.

3:22:43

What a wonderful composer. Brilliant.

3:22:45

He said, "Nobody will believe I did The
Bad And The Beautiful and The Patsy. "

3:22:49

The Bad And The Beautiful
and Laura, by the way.

3:22:53

- It's two of my... I think probably...
- Laura I forgot, you're right.

3:22:57

The Bad And The Beautiful
was an incredible score.

3:22:59

Jeez, was it ever.

3:23:01

An excellent composer you've always
used in all your films.

3:23:05

You are very conscious of music,
Mr Lewis.

3:23:09

Yes, thank you, Mr Lawrence.

3:23:11

Music to me was the very spine
of all of the comedy I ever did.

3:23:16

- John Woodcock's car.
- I Lost My Heart In A Drive-ln Movie.

3:23:29

All the music tracks were done on the
sound stage, not a recording studio?

3:23:34

Paramount sound stage. We did
everything on the scoring stage.

3:23:43

The comfort level on the set
must have been extraordinary.

3:23:46

So many people had worked as a unit.
Billy Richmond and Glucksman...

3:23:50

- Absolutely.
- And the cast of players.

3:23:53

I used the same crew for 11 films.

3:23:57

They knew what you wanted.
