Visit to a Small Planet

The small planet is Earth, and the visitor is Kreton (Jerry Lewis), a bumbling young alien eager to study human behavior. Befriended by the suburban Spelding family, Kreton gets a crash course in such Earthly concepts as love and affection--neither of which exist on his planet--when he falls for the Speldings’ daughter (Joan Blackman). Earl Holliman, Fred Clark, John Williams star in this wacky sci-fi comedy, written by Gore Vidal and previously staged as television and Broadway productions. 85 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailers.
