The Sad Sack (1957) The Sad Sack

The Sad Sack ★★ 1957 A bumbling hero with a photographic memory winds up in Morocco as a member of the French Foreign Legion. Although a success at the box office, Lewis's second movie (without partner Dean Martin) seems jerky and out of sorts today. Based on the comic strip character by George Baker, but not effectively. 98m/B VHS. Jerry Lewis, Phyllis Kirk, David Wayne, Peter Lorre, Gene Evans, Mary Treen; Director: George Marshall; Writer: Loyal Griggs; Cameo: Burt Bacharach, Hal David.
