Anita O'Day was one of the greatest American Jazz singers and this critically acclaimed award-winning documentary tells her astonishing story - a journey of survival, and above all the enduarance of her talent, told in a number of frank interviews with her and with those who knew her. Her career was long and eventful, spanning seven decades; her last album recorded when she was 84. Anita O'Day only ever wanted to be a singer and the film showcases performances that date back to the 50's with such artists as Gene Krupa, Roy Eldridge, Stan Kenton.

Blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren is a trick rodeo rider with a knack for singing and a hankering for a man who just doesn't seem to notice her.

Imagine calling the cops to restore law and order – and Jerry Lewis shows up? In his first film without longtime partner Dean Martin, Lewis plays Sidney Pythias, a bumbling janitor caught up in the middle of a gang rumble. Mistaken for a member of the switchblade set, Sidney is encouraged to undergo a 180-degree transformation – from street hoodlum to full-fledged policeman! Darren McGavin (A Christmas Story) is the reluctant law enforcement officer who must mold Lewis into a respectable man-in-blue at the Police Academy. But with all the chaos, disorder and trouble Sidney manages to unleash during his training and development, just who will the police call for help?!

Jerry Lewis stars as THE DELICATE DELINQUENT, a bumbling janitor who pals around with the switchblade set but decides to become a cop. Darren McGavin co-stars in this terrific blend of zaniness and social comment that's one of Jerry Lewis' finest.
