Which Way to the Front? (1970)
Not the worst, but one of the very best Jerry Lewis films

A very different Jerry Lewis film, not like all those more famous films that everybody knows. Lewis deals with the difficult task of WW II and National Socialism in Germany in a rather unconventional way. But even more interesting and important, he does it in a very un-American way. And as with so many things in the world and especially in the film industry un-American means more sophisticated, more subtle, more intelligent or simply better. That is the reason why the film was no success in the US but a very great success in Europe.
All in all, Jerry Lewis has proven by this movie, that he is able to do much more than simple slapstick comedy.
