The Nutty Professor

A timid, nearsighted chemistry teacher discovers a magical potion that can transform him into a suave and handsome Romeo, but the Jekyll and Hyde game takes a wild turn when the concoction starts to wear off at the most embarrassing times. Jerry Lewis stars, directs, produces, and co-writes this comedy take on Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, following weak-willed scientist Julius Kelp as he creates a serum that transforms him into a charismatic and narcissistic ladies' man named Buddy Love.
