Black Magic

A very good looking young man with a suit on is playing the piano and singing. He has a nice voice. Then his voice starts to change. Everyone looks at him weird and he leaves hurriedly.

The man at the piano is Buddy Love (Jerry Lewis), the Mr. Hyde side of Professor Julius Kelp (also Jerry Lewis), a nerdy science teacher whose concoctions often blow up. He has fallen in love with one of his students, a pretty girl named Stella Purdy (Stella Stevens) and tries to impress her by working out at the gym. It doesn't work. He is the same as before. So he decides to try his hand in chemistry and he hits upon a potion that turns him into Buddy Love. Unbeknownst to his boss Dr. Hamius R. Warfield (Del Moore) and his secretary Millie Lemmon (Kathleen Freeman), he leads another life at night as Buddy Love, an irresistible swinger.

Then Buddy Love is asked to play the piano for the senior prom. Professor Kelp thinks he is all ready and slips away from the prom right before his act, but he can't find the formula! He then remembers that he mailed the copy to his parents (Howard Morris and Elvia Allman). So he calls them and gets the formula, only to find out he doesn't have enough of something to make it last long enough. But he decides to take it anyway. He begins the performance but in the middle he turns back into professor Kelp; he then confesses everything--and Stella Purdy still loves him and they get married.

I didn't think this movie was that great, and I think it is definitely Jerry Lewis's style. I don't think young kids would enjoy it very much because there is a scene where Kelp turns into wolfman right before he turns into Buddy Love. Also they probably wouldn't get some of it. I probably wouldn't watch it again.
