Hook, Line and Sinker
Jerry's Living It Up Like Crazy!
Directed by George Marshall
Produced by Jerry Lewis Productions
A lighthearted 1960s comedy built on the ironic premise of a man living recklessly after a false terminal diagnosis, balancing dark subject matter with comedic energy and a redemptive twist.
Told he is terminally ill, an insurance executive goes on a credit-card spending spree--and then learns his medical diagnosis was a mistake.
