ORIGINAL: besiderself Popping in to spur the discussion on before heading out for work... Ok, so someone over on Narniaweb pulled a great joke and I fell for it...hook, line and sinker (I'm really good at that. If it brings you joy, you may pull pranks on me). But it got me to thinking about a really old movie by that title: Hook Line and Sinker...Jerry Lewis was in it. I remember thinking it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen back when I was...whatever. 12? 15? 9? The movie, I think, was in black and white--either that or our tv at the time was still in black and white. I remember nothing about the movie except that Jerry Lewis fell into a pool at one point. Does anyone remember that movie, and was it as funny as I remember? besiderself I had to stop in at IMDB.com to verify. Yep it's as funny as you remember. Jerry Lewis charcater is told he has a terminal illness. So at his wife's urging he goes on a $100,000 spree on credit (figuring that teh insurance will pay it off) Turns out he's not sick after all.[:D] The one I remember best is the one where he has triplets or something and is a single parent. At one point I think he has them in a wheelbarrow so he can, do "something" out of doors, very funny, though it is one without Dean.
