Jerry Lewis in FIGHT FOR LIFE Forgotten melodramatic

FIGHT FOR LIFE (1987) Forgotten melodramatic ‘disease of the week’ docudrama with a badly miscast Jerry Lewis as a Jewish optometrist whose 6-year old daughter is suffering from a rare, and potentially deadly, form of epilepsy; Lewis and his wife, played by Patty Duke, fight the FDA for fast approval of a European drug; unintentionally funny at times, Lewis and Duke horribly overact the amateurish script (which is still entertaining for some reason); but with an excellent supporting role by a pre-stardom Morgan Freeman; In English with Spanish subtitles; Also starring Jaclyn Bernstein and Barry Morse; directed by Elliot Silverstein (CAT BALLOU, MAN CALLED HORSE); {print quality A-}
