Anecdotes
During filming, Jerry Lewis and actress Stella Stevens started an affair that lasted two years.

Gaffes
The professor is supposedly nearsighted, as implied by the scenes from his perspective without glasses at the bowling alley and the final nightclub scene. However, the glasses he wears throughout the movie are designed for reading, not to aid nearsightedness.

Citations
Professor Julius Kelp: Learning a lesson in life is - is never - is never really too late. And I think that the - the lesson that I learned came just in time. I don't want to - I don't want to be something that I'm not. I didn't like being someone else. At the same time, I'm very glad I was. 'Cause I found out something that I never knew. You might as well like yourself. Just think about all the time you're going to have to spend with you. And - well, if you don't think much of yourself, how can others? That's what I found out.

Crédits fous
False ending which first displays, "That's all, folks!!" then inserts a NOT in between "that's" and "all," then a 5-minute story epilogue goes to the actual ending, which is credited as "The beginning." The actor credits are done as curtain calls, with each performer bowing behind their name.

Jerry Lewis in Hilarious Jeckyl/Hyde Comedy

This is by far the best of the Jerry Lewis (sans Martin) films. The Jekyll & Hyde storyline is the perfect outlet for Jerry Lewis' "physical comedy" genius. I bet the "French" were inspired by this performance, when they named Jerry Lewis their comedy idol. As a clumsy, yet lovable chemistry professor, the title character could hardly be considered a "babe magnet". When he discovers a magic potion that turns the nerd into "Buddy Love", his luck with the ladies appears to change. In the end, he learns that appearance is less important than character. A young Stella Stevens is effective as the grad-student love interest.

This original "Nutty Professor" is heartwarming and funny without offensive language and double-meaning visuals. It is far superior to its 1990s Eddie Murphy remake. Especially for a juvenile audience, Lewis beats Murphy by a mile!
