A shy, nerdy scientist Julius Kelp invents a potion that turns him into a smooth ladies man Buddy Love. However, the effect wears off fast which turns this into an enjoyable Cinderella story on a loop. Jerry Lewis gives a hilarious (vocal) performance in one of his most enduring comedies. Remade by Eddie Murphy in 1996.
