THE NUTTY PROFESSOR (1963) Starring - Jerry Lewis,Stella Stevens,Del Moore,Kathleen Freeman - Public Domain Movie Disc only Free Post - Colour - VERY RARE DELETED DVD ! DVD NO CASE.

The Nutty Professor is a 1963 American science fiction comedy film directed, co-written (with Bill Richmond) by, and starring Jerry Lewis. The film also co-stars Stella Stevens, Del Moore, Kathleen Freeman, Howard Morris, and Elvia Allman. The score was composed by Walter Scharf. A parody of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it follows weak-willed scientist Julius Kelp as he creates a serum that transforms him into a charismatic but narcissistic ladies' man, which he subsequently uses under his alter ego Buddy Love.

The Nutty Professor has been described as perhaps the finest and most memorable film of Lewis's career.[3] In 2004, The Nutty Professor was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

A remake of The Nutty Professor was released in 1996, directed by Tom Shadyac and starring Eddie Murphy and Jada Pinkett-Smith. A sequel, Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, followed in 2000, and an animated sequel to the 1963 film was released in 2008. Lewis directed a musical theatre version in 2012. A new version of the musical, featuring the last score by Marvin Hamlisch, book and lyrics by Rupert Holmes and direction by Marc Bruni, was staged from July 1 to August 6, 2022, at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Ogunquit, Maine.[4]

Plot
Professor Julius Kelp is a neurotic, scruffy, buck-toothed, accident-prone, socially awkward university professor whose experiments in the classroom laboratory are unsuccessful and highly destructive. When a football-playing bully embarrasses and attacks him, Kelp decides to improve his physique by joining a local gym. Kelp's lack of physical strength leads him to seek a solution in his specialty of chemistry. He invents a serum that causes him to fall unconscious and have a nightmare about transforming into a traditional Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-esque monster; he then awakens as a handsome, suave, charming, and brash girl-chasing hipster who at his core is a narcissistic sociopath.

Adopting the alias "Buddy Love", Kelp uses the self-confidence of his new personality to pursue one of his students, Stella Purdy. Although she resents Love, she finds herself strangely attracted to him. Buddy wows the crowd with his jazzy, breezy musical delivery and poised demeanor at the Purple Pit, a nightclub where the students hang out. He also mocks a bartender and waitress and punches a student. The formula starts to wear off at inopportune times, often to Kelp's humiliation. Although Kelp knows that his alternate persona is an inherently bad person, he cannot prevent himself from continually taking the formula as he enjoys the attention that Love receives. Fearing the cost of the formula becoming publicly available, he sends a copy to his equally weak-willed father Elmer and overbearing mother Edwina, hoping he can entrust them with his secret.

The students invite Love to perform at their annual dance, and despite skepticism from deadpan university president Dr. Mortimer Warfield, Love charms him into being allowed to perform. Partway through Kelp's performance as Love, the formula starts to wear off again. Rather than running out to take more of the formula, Kelp allows his real identity to be revealed as he gives an impassioned speech about the importance of liking one's self, admitting his mistakes and seeking forgiveness. Purdy meets Kelp backstage and confesses that she prefers Kelp over Love, leading them to share a kiss.

Some time later, Elmer develops a confident personality of his own after taking the formula himself and decides to market it. He makes a pitch to the chemistry class, while Warfield endorses it, and the students all rush forward to buy the new tonic. In the commotion, Kelp, now wearing braces to correct his overbite, slips out of the class with Purdy. Armed with a marriage license and two bottles of the formula, they elope.

During the short closing credits, each of the characters comes out and bows down to the camera, and when Jerry Lewis, still portraying Kelp, comes out and bows, he trips and falls over the camera, shutting off the picture.
