Description
Micky Moore with a costumed and wired Jerry Lewis during the filming of "Visit to a Small Planet." An off-color caption appears below. In his memoir, Moore said of Lewis, "He liked to clown around, think up practical jokes, and do anything he could to disrupt an organized production. It seemed to be my job to corral his behavior, encouraging him to 'get down to business'."
