Here's a quickie. In his retirement years, when health permitted, Stan Laurel was a busy correspondent, writing brief letters to anyone who wrote to him. One of his pen pals was Jerry Lewis. Laurel was personally fond of the comedian, though he reportedly told many friends that he really didn't understand much of what Lewis did on the screen. Jerry repeatedly offered Stan work — to appear in his projects or, at least, contribute gags. Laurel declined the offers but occasionally sent Lewis an idea which went unused.
This film clip was shot in 1960…in Miami where Jerry was making his movie, The Bellboy, at the Fontainebleau Hotel. I'm not sure if this was televised somehow or if, more likely, Jerry mailed a 16mm reel of film to Stan. (Stan owned a 16mm projector, which he'd received when he and Hardy were on that infamous episode of This Is Your Life.) Anyway, it's Jerry more or less dismissing an idea that Laurel had given him of a title for the movie.
Standing next to him is Bill Richmond, a pal of his who co-wrote a number of Lewis pix and who occasionally did his Stan Laurel impression in them. In fact, he did it in The Bellboy, which explains why he had the costume there. And I'd write more but it's already taken you longer to read this than it will for you to watch the clip…
