Overview

Stanley is a bellboy at the Fountainbleau Hotel in Miami Beach, where he performs his duties quietly and without a word to anyone. All he displays are facial expressions and a comedic slapstick style. And anything that can go wrong, does go wrong when Stanley is involved. One day, Jerry Lewis arrives at the hotel and some of the staff notice the striking resemblance.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gleeful cascade of physical comedy set in a swanky hotel, where a silent bellboy's innocent bumbling creates escalating chaos. It's pure slapstick invention built on pratfalls, facial mugging, and the absurdist premise of mistaken identity.
