In those days, you had to be a triple threat in order to succeed in show business. Sing, dance and act! Jerry did it all plus comedy!

Most people have forgotten that along with being a trained actor, singer & comedian, Jerry Lewis was also a trained dancer! Most of his comedic dancing, he developed himself. He was a rare gem.

It's hard to take your eyes off him; he's that good. Never realized just how good a dancer he was. You gave us many good years so thanx Jerry. ❤😮 ❤

A true comedian without cussing or nasty language..don't make them like Jerry Lewis anymore

Just saw an interview w/Jerry on PBS where he says the music was prerecorded. The set was built over two adjacent soundstages to give him the scope he wanted. He picked the camera angles, framing ("Always show Jerry from head to toe), and determined "no cut-aways, the whole thing has to be one continuous shot." AND THEN HE IMPROVISED THE ENTIRE STAIRWAY DANCE IN ONE TAKE! "I had no idea what Jerry was going to do until the music started!" Sheer genius.

Simply genius! This is when actors and actresses had to sing, dance and deliver lines all with A+ quality!

One of the most underrated dancers of the era. An all around, multitalented actor. In an age when one HAD to be. Bravo!

Jerry Lewis and Danny Kaye were two of my favorites as a kid! They were so funny. They did it all, too. They sang, they danced, they did the comedy, they acted in a bunch of movies that broke me up when I watched them perform. Lewis also played the drums as well. I don't remember if Kaye played an instrument. I just remember them being funny and endlessly versatile in all the roles they played. I'm glad to have run across this old sequence from Cinderfella.

I have always loved Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin movies since I was a child....They never air anymore on TV....Thanks for sharing cffc...

I love this dance then and I love it now. Jerry Lewis one of the greatest comedians of all times.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Love and miss this guy. Talented in so many funny crazy ways. RIP, thanks for the laughs Jerry!

Jerry Lewis and Count Basie's band - a brilliant combination!

Jerry was a master at anything he done. He had swagger with a bit of comedy mixed in. Totally Brilliant Jerry Lewis moves. R.I.P Comedy Legend.

That Jerry Lewis...Cinderfella Dance, from Start (Top of the stairs) to Finish (The Waltz)... IS A CLASSIC! 😊 Jerry Lewis OWNED IT! 👍😊

Jerry Lewis, always will be one of my favorite comedians since my childhood.

I remember watching this as a young girl. I loved it then, love it more now. What a talent Jerry Lewis was!

Good Lord!! Cinderfella!! I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid. Absolutely classic scene. I still love Jerry Lewis to this day. What a freaking legend. ❤

I remember watching his movies growing up. But I did not know he was such a great dancer! I became a professional dancer so I really appreciate how good he was!

Watching Jerry Lewis as a kid was fun!! Loved Cinderfella!

Jerry Lewis helped me survive many bad times in my life. Thank you, Jerry!

how did he not miss a step. what a treat to see this, a GRAND entrance and love the band. Great music scenes and dancing, love the whole thing.

Jerry Lewis was absolutely amazing and will always be remembered for his comedy and great movies

He really cracks me up sometimes, there'll never be another Jerry Lewis.😊💖

He filled my life with hope and laughter, I miss him so.

I always found Jerry Lewis a handsome guy :) and he has swag ^__^ awesome dance moves

Too bad people can't live forever with the vitality of youth. He is SO ATHLETIC and has perfect timing.

Jerry. Was. An. Outstanding. Comedian. Actor. Dancer. Always. Enjoyed. His. Movies. 😊😊😊😊

Jerry had a heart attack when he finished this scene all in one take - unbelievable the stamina he had for his physical comedy. He truly was the best!

This is one of those deals where it's hard to imagine anyone but Jerry Lewis doing it. He set the standard for scenes like this and most every other comic comes in a distant second.

A classic indeed! What an amazing performance. Always love Jerry Lewis

Jerry Lewis the greatest comedian in the world. One of my favorites movies was The nutty professor. I loved everything he did.

The dance routine is so genius. It’s a mixture of dance in it’s excellence sprinkled with dashes of goofiness 🤪. Only Jerry Lewis could pull this off. On another note, I heard that he had a heart ❤️ attack when he got to the top of the stairs. He does look very tired 🥱 on the set, for sure. It still amazes me that he lived so long in spite of that incident. Thanks goodness he pulled through …

A hero. At least to me. Thanks for the memories and for my sense of humor. R I.P..

Let's not forget that he was also a very giving humanitarian. ❤❤

I knew him only as the comic half of Martin and Lewis. Never realized until recent videos that he was one of the greatest dancers ever. Amazing how he can dance so well and still do it in a comedic vein.

I remember I watched this 40 years ago. Unforgettable movie and wonderful scene.

Jerry just passed away. A really gifted man. Complex, and a very intelligent fella.

So many foot moves/patterns/phrasing people think of as "new" are present in this performance. Jerry Lewis showing how it's done, at his charming, brilliant best. What a delight!

I heard somewhere that after that athletic dance and then running up those stairs 2 at a time, he finished the scene then actually collapsed. No wonder though, if it's true. That whole scene is fantastic, right from his entrance with all his suave swagger, to his last words to the princess and the look on his face when he says "...and I'll never forget you." Perfect scene! Thank you, Jerry; and I will never YOU. ❤

While he had his ugly side, this was truly one talented as hell man! The likes of which we will never see again in our lifetime!

Thanks, Jerry. You were a big part of my movie experience growing up. Have a great time with Dean again.

This is EPIC right here! Jerry Lewis is the king of comedy! True comedic genius! A brilliant mind-a brilliant star! I love him forever!

He was one of the many greats lost but forever alive in his movies. A natural talent, like he didn't even have to try.

He brought lots of joy and laughter into homes across America in the say. Rip sweet man...

This will forever be one of my favorites scenes ever! THIS is how you make an entrance. I'll miss you, Jerry. Thank you so much for the laughs & infinite innovation and knowledge. I love you. RIP.

Truely magnificient! I love the way he "floats" down the stairs. I never get tired of Jerry Lewis, he is a genious.

I grew up watching his movies at the theaters. He was a comic genius. He is missed by so many fans.

Recuerdo de chico ser fanático de sus películas y siempre me pregunté cómo es que hacía todas esas coreografias tan perfectas y hoy en día ya con 42 años , me sigo diciendo , que impresionante y como lo hace!!! Que gran artista y cuántas sonrisas me saco el gran Jerry Lewis!!!! Uno de mis más grandes ídolos de siempre !!! Siempre estaré eternamente agradecido por sacarme tantas risas !!! Un gran super héroe real!!!

Jerry Lewis is GENIUS!

I love all of jerry lewis movies. they are funny and entertaining and never crude

Lewis was an all-rounder, he could sing, dance, do comedy, of course as well as dramatic acting, He could instantly transform from gawky and awkward to suave and classy seamlessly. I have ALL of his movies and I never get tired of watching him.

I saw this as a child. It always stayed with me.

The GREAT Jerry Lewis... My God.. what a talent.. Ive always loved him... This is a timeless masterpiece.

Jerry was such a great and Classy Dancer as well as a comic genius and so very talented artist overall

Nobody but Jerry Lewis could have did it this way! You go Jerry!💖

I watched these movies with my Mom and remember being MORE excited about them then her!! 💛

Jerry is truly a survivor ( crippling back pain, cancer, drug addiction )....he really enjoyed performing, but what a cost...this scene is a classic, no one else could've done it as well.....and the man just turned 90....love you Jerry always ~~

Thank goodness we can still go back and watch great movies. Jerry was awesome!

Another great Jerry Lewis performance. He had his own style of movement. Once again I’m glad he was captured on film...

I worked for MDA and used to go out to the telethon. The main office was in NYC and I worked in the video department so i saw him quite often, But I'll never forget the time that I was doing my Nutty Professor impersonation and then Jerry started doing it and it was a magical moment. How I wish it was taped!!

Jerry is a talented man & outstanding dancer as well! love him!!!

I have been in love with Jerry Lewis my whole life - and I totally agree he is hot a hell and a hell of a dancer!!

Jerry Lewis, Absolutely Brilliant, May You Rest in Peace, Stay Safe Everyone in 2020, XX

Jerry Lewis is my favorite actor. He has always been my inspiration. His career proves that absolutely anyone on the planet can make it in Hollywood.

I Love his vulnerable confession, makes the character in the movie big and we all do understand. It makes him a mensch... I didn't know this scene. RIP brave man.

Just Incredible!! A Very Underrated Dance scene!!

He was the Original Goodfella. Even had a “Godfather”. Jerry The Gent. RIP...

fantastic dancing. so graceful. he controlled everything about his movies. was watching this documentary/interview. he controlled the financing, when they movie was going to be released , his produced, wrote, directed, was behind the cameras, ...acted, sang, danced, comedy, loved music as obvious in his movies, .....ANYTHING and everything

Rip jerry Lewis my favorite comedian in the world you will never be forgotten.

Great movie Cindafella . Great actor ! My great hero . He always makes me very happy when I am a little deppresive .

I never tire of watching and listening to the magical Mr. Jerry Lewis. His talent has never been equaled nor duplicated. He was such a genius in every way. Would loved to have met him - maybe I will in Heaven.

There will never be another Jerry Lewis.....truly timeless!

Born i Sweden 1965. Grew up with comedy movies sunday afternoons. Buster Keaton , Charlie Chaplin , Harold Lloyd , the Marx brothers , Laurel & Hardy and my favourite ; JERRY LEWIS !!!!!! He's always been my Number 1 !!!! Got a bunch of DVD:s with all of the above , but I always get back to Jerry. Especially if I need to pick myself up. His movies has always given me so much joy,laughter and happiness. I just love the goofiness.

being a young girl about 7 in 1951, we didn't have tv until 1975, its really an honour to be able to see this talented man in action.....I always loved him.....and Dino of course. ....

When I was a teenager there was The Jerry Lewis's dance in my school. Nothing like Jerry Lewis choreography like the legend himself. Masterpiece

Jerry Lewis had more talent in his little toe than most so called comedians today. What a brilliant clip. Also him and Tony Bennett together were a sheer joy. Oh to have these two on our screens again today.

Probably the best party entrance (and dance) sequence ever filmed, definitely the hippest. Jerry and Count Basie at their finest. THANKS for posting this whole scene.

Jerry Lewis is the best and no one comes close to his genius and timing.A true professional and Artist.Long Live Jerry Lewis. We Love you Jerry thank you for all the heart throbs and laughs.

The reason so many movies of today are so computer graphic driven is lack of talented people. Jerry Lewis is an example of how talented actors carry a movie. Today, few actors are truly talented, the special effects people and their art is what people are paying to see.

He is a brilliant entertainer! I miss your craziness and wild funny ways!! RIP Jerry! ♥️🙏

Jerry Lewis one of my favorite comedians. I love all his movies. God bless him.

It's so sad it's impossible to get these great old films on DVD. They only put out the classics on Dvd as if they are the only ones worth watching when I think we are a lot of people who loves some of these films that may not be classics but through the years we remembered them in our hearts. I haven't seen this film since I was a little girl and I would love to see it again. I loved Jerry Lewis:)

What a silly goose..so funny! Those older movies hav something so special we dont see today, unfortunately...

It takes a genius to act a fools part, he was simply brilliant and great fun to watch x

i love this movie and the only time i saw it was in the late 60's. i went running through the house yelling "its Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis". Cinderfella was my favourite!

Truly an amazing performance! Such a unique, death-defying talent!

I used to watch these movies with my mom when I was a kid.

One of my favorite movies of all times.

This is one of my favorite Jerry Lewis movies. The other is where he becomes a father of 6.

Assisti esse filme várias vezes e outros do Lewis e não canso,nunca é demais.Grande artista.

I hadn't realized that Jerry was such a talented dancer... I always just think of him as a comedian...

Boy was l blessed to have been raised in the 90's.!!@ the Disney channel snowed all the classics l happened to love cinderfella 😁 l loved his goofy dancing 🤭

Rip man You are one of the greats that will *never* be forgotten Such great dancing skills and best music of all time

Superbe chorégraphie extrait du film "Cendrillon aux grands pieds " Comme ils étaient beaux : Jerry Lewis et Anna Maria Alberghetti ... Magnifique musique interprétée par the Count Basie Orchestra !! Une merveille !!

Always loved Jerry Lewis movies and still do. What an amazing talent.

I grew up in the 60's and Jerry Lewis was my favorite actor to watch and a lot of people have said when I was a kid I acted like him doing crazy stunts. I loved all his movies and the ones where him and Dean Martin were a team. Lots of laughs. RIP Jerry

This guy was a *master of physical comedy.* I smiled throughout this entire video.

I think it's funny how I see him dancing and shuffling at the same time. He was the first "shuffler." LOL

That man was so incredibly talented. Loved his movies since my early teens. They don't make movies like this anymore and it's such a shame. Those were the good old days.

I wasnt even thought of yet when this movie came out. I grew up with him though and loved Jerry for everything he did. RIP Jerry Lewis!
