The Delicate Delinquent

Sidney Pythias is a bumbling janitor picked up by cop Mike Damon as a teenage gang member worth saving from delinquency. With Damon’s help, Sidney works his way through the Police Academy to become a cop too.

"With plainly the best of intentions, Jerry Lewis has made his first independent production a serious-message comedy. It is called The Delicate Delinquent. It came to the Mayfair yesterday and the message is that it is better to be a respected policeman than a juvenile bum. If there appears in this presentment a certain sobriety that was not a detectable feature in the old Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis films, it may be respectfully acknowledged as a purpose of the new Mr. Lewis. [...] The good intention of his message may be missed in this eccentricity." (Bosley Crowther, The New York Times)
