The Disorderly Orderly (1964)
Directed by Frank Tashlin
Poor Jerome Littlefield. He wants to be a doctor – but that's not exactly the perfect career choice when you're hopelessly squeamish. So he settles for the job of orderly at the Whitestone Sanitarium, a career move that's guaranteed to keep the patients – and viewers – in stitches!

What critics compared The Disorderly Orderly to
The frenetic pace of modernism was caricatured by both Tashlin's quick-edit animation sequences and Lewis' mania; the exaggerated physical stunts of Tashlin's cartoons translated into the fractious ruckus of his social satires like Artists and Models, Hollywood or Bust, and The Disorderly Orderly?which, incidentally, have left Jerry Lewis himself in a near-crippled state.
