AudioHead,
The Buddy Love character became interesting to me. About 15 years ago I had a client who had known Jerry Lewis very well since the late 60s and indicated that his Buddy Love character was the closest Lewis ever came in movies to his actual personality. "Love" was a way for Lewis to kind of take revenge on the goofball roles, and the sinister calculating obnoxiousness, and self-absorbed hyper-ego was allowed to reign. The genuineness of those characteristics made Love his most 3-D role.
Lewis is not lacking intelligence, creativity, and showmanship but the annoyance factor is very close to 100%.
Cheers,
Bambi B
