Agnès C. Poirier: "Jerry Lewis was always a subject of a deep trans-Atlantic misunderstanding, one that triggered sarcasm in the United States, and bewilderment in France. While some Americans felt embarrassed by this contortionist comic, the French embraced Mr. Lewis's humor as both an abstract art and social satire of American life. Americans mocked the French for falling for this crass clown, while the French couldn't understand why Mr. Lewis's genius was not obvious to his compatriots."
