Visit to a Small Planet

Film details, brief synopsis, cast & crew, norman taurog, jerry lewis, joan blackman, earl holliman, john williams, technical specs.

On the planet X47, student Kreton confounds his teacher, Delton, by cutting class to visit his favorite planet, Earth. Kreton, whose ineptitude has recently destroyed all life on Mars, ignores Delton's protestation that Earth is puny and pointless and programs his spaceship to visit Manassas, Virginia, during the Civil War. He has miscalculated by ninety-nine years, however, and lands in 1960 at the home of television personality Roger Putnam Spelding, who is at that moment polishing his broadcast on the impossibility of alien life. The family, consisting of Roger, wife Rheba and daughter Ellen, are preparing for a costume party at the home of neighbor Bob Mayberry, and when Kreton appears dressed as a Confederate cavalryman, Rheba assumes he is a party guest. She invites him to accompany them, and when Roger, costumed as Jefferson Davis, comes downstairs to watch his pre-taped broadcast, Kreton mistakes him for the real Jefferson Davis and calls the show "full of hooey." Upon realizing Roger is the man on the television, Kreton demonstrates his advanced abilities to prove to Roger that he is an alien. Just then, Delton arrives to inform Kreton that he will be allowed to stay on Earth as long as he does not interfere or reveal that he is an alien. The aliens notice that Roger is at that moment calling his boss, George Abercrombie, to inform him that he has a scoop on extraterrestrial life, and use mind control to restrain him from revealing their presence. Upon witnessing Kreton's ability to wither a plant by looking at it, Roger agrees to stay quiet, but soon after, Kreton blithely admits he is extraterrestrial to Rheba and Ellen, who are thrilled by his powers. When Bob, an amateur UFO fanatic, enters to inform them he has spotted a spacecraft, Kreton keeps him from snapping his photo by destroying his camera. Ellen's boyfriend Conrad then appears, costumed as a spaceman with antennae, and concerned for his family's safety, Roger orders them all to remain in the house. Bob flees, but as soon as he attempts to call the police, Kreton renders him incapable of speaking. After spending the evening with family dog Rags, to whom he can speak, Kreton informs Ellen that he can read minds. To prove it, he transmits Ellen's own thoughts about Conrad and the unchaperoned weekend they have planned. Kreton, whose people do not have sex and never die, horrifies Ellen by asking to watch the "courtship rituals" of mating earthlings. Kreton then allows Ellen to listen to Conrad's thoughts, which are mostly about Ellen in a bathing suit. Roger calls the alien in for a drink, and Delton, watching on his monitor, allows Kreton to experience alcohol. After the young alien climbs up the wall and onto the ceiling, however, Roger hides the bourbon. Ellen and Conrad take Kreton to town, and while his exploits in levitating policemen amuse Ellen, Conrad grows jealous. Back at home, after reuniting the sparring Rags with family cat Clementine, Kreton overhears Abercrombie inside firing Roger. By reading Abercrombie's mind and then mentioning his mistress and corrupt business deals, Kreton wins Roger his job back, prompting Roger to pray for Kreton to marry Ellen. Ellen, who has rejected Conrad's marriage proposals because she considers him too ineffectual, evokes the young man's wrath by announcing that she is taking Kreton to their hangout, a beatnik bar. There, the alien delights the crowd with his spacesuit and ability to play a set of bongos from across the room. After Delton levitates Kreton, however, the beatniks flee in terror. Ellen takes Kreton to Lover's Lane, but when he tries to kiss her, his force field, which protects him from other life forms, prevents them from touching. Delton, hoping to teach the delinquent a lesson, breaks the field, and with one kiss Kreton is in love. Ellen, however, has merely been experimenting, and when she returns home, she acquiesces to Conrad's jealous demand that they elope. Kreton hears their plan and plots to foil them, but is himself thwarted by Delton. The next morning, as Kreton asks Roger for Ellen's hand, she and Conrad announce that they are married. Kreton feigns indifference, but Delton then broadcasts his lascivious thoughts about Ellen, prompting Conrad to fight him. The alien assumes his force field will protect him, but Delton again allows it to fall, and for the first time, Kreton feels physical pain. Finally convinced that he wants nothing to do with humans, Kreton races into the barn, while Bob learns that Kreton is vulnerable and alerts the police. When they shoot tear gas into the barn, Kreton manages to blow the gas out and escape out the back. Kreton finds Delton waiting at his spaceship, ready to take him home. On Earth, the military arrive, but to Bob's dismay, the Speldings swear that there is no such thing as aliens.

Gore Vidal based his play Visit to a Small Planet on his teleplay of the same name, which was broadcast on the Philco Television Playhouse on May 8, 1955. In February 1959, producer Hal Wallis bought the rights to the stage play, which had had its Broadway debut on February 7, 1957. At the time of the purchase, according to a Hollywood Reporter news item, Wallis was considering either Lewis, Alec Guinness or Danny Kaye for the lead role. Although Vidal's play included what the Variety reviewer called "thoughtful commentary on the stupidity of war," the film version contains no such theme.        Although Hollywood Reporter noted in April 1959 that Donna Douglas tested for a role, she was not in the film. June and July 1959 Hollywood Reporter news items add the following actors to the cast: Charles "Chuck" Ward, John Diggs, Anne Cornwall, Mike Ross, Carl Lucas, Hugh Langtry, John Drake, William Rands, James Knight, Jack Jones, Richard Johnson, Jose Dominguez, Paul Smith, Eddie Robinson, Jr., Max Power, John Eloff, Louise Glenn, Sondra Matesky, John Dennis, Dominic Fidelibus, Titus Moede, Beach Dickerson, Bob Harvey, David Lanfield, Joseph Turkel, Mark Russell, Gene Collins, Paul Wexler, and Frank Socolow. Their appearance in the final film has not been confirmed. Modern sources add Don Bagley, Jack Costanzo and Dany Saval to the cast.        Hal Pereira, Walter Tyler, Sam Comer and Arthur Krams received a 1961 Academy Award nomination for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White. Visit to a Small Planet marked the last film for Jerry Lewis under his long-term contract with producer Hal Wallis, who helped jumpstart Lewis' career. The two made one more film together, 1965's Boeing Boeing (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1961-70 ). For more information on their relationship, see the record for the film My Friend Irma ( AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1941-50 ).

Review by 📀 Cammmalot 📀 ★★½ 4

"Have we met?" "Not unless you’ve ever been to X-47”

This Jerry Lewis sci-fi comedy feels like a prototype for Mork & Mindy, but with a lot less funny. In fact you can even see shades of ‘My Favorite Martian’ ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ and ‘Bewitched’ which all hit television just a couple of years later. Needless to say the humor is very 60’s sitcom and I wasn’t crazy about it.

The one highlight for me is when Jerry visits The Hungry Brain jazz club and all the Beatnik’s think he’s so far out he’s in. There’s great dance sequence where Lewis really cuts loose and does what he does best.

Life’s a drag daddy-o. Let’s make it.

Cinematic Time Capsule - 1960 Ranked

Review by Villain ★★★

Jerry Lewis led 3 movies in 1960 and it seems as if Visit to a Small Planet is the most underseen one.

Around this era Hollywood seems insistent that if there really was any alien life out there they would look exactly like humans. Maybe they didn't want to pay for effects. Lots of TV shows adopted a similar concept in the years after this where the aliens were basically quirky humans. The production values of this film seem much like the TV shows of the era.

The film is a pretty basic fish out of water story with Jerry Lewis showing off a few otherworld abilities and he falls in love with an Earth girl. Fred Clark plays a…

Review by SylvainL ★★★

Sympathique film très mineur de Jerry, où la portée critique de ses gags est désamorcée par l'origine extra-terrestre de son personnage. Je pense que je suis quand même mieux de rester dans les valeurs sûres, parce qu'il en a fait en esti des films, Lewis, ça va vite devenir pénible...

Review by Ken ★½

The people that thought this was funny are in charge of this country

Review by Will Sloan ★★½

The good Jerry Lewis movies are the ones directed by himself or Frank Tashlin, and the mediocre Jerry Lewis movies are the ones directed by other people and/or produced by Hal Wallis. This is a Hal Wallis production directed by Norman Taurog.

Based on a play by Gore Vidal, who disowned this movie and objected to the casting of Jerry. This dispenses with most of Vidal's satire about McCarthy-era America, and Jerry's wacky antics are awkwardly integrated.

I liked the part where Jerry dances with a beatnik girl.

Review by GoodBadAndOdd ★★★

Pretty good early Jerry Lewis movie, where there's a distinct lack of mawkishness and plenty of goofy fun. The supporting cast is pretty good and energetic too, and there's some nice touches, such as Jerry walking up a wall and across a ceiling, and some fun with a talking dog and cat.

Review by Jonah

Guy whose profile picture is Jack Frost  (1979): “getting big Jack Frost  (1979) vibes from this”

Review by RealJohnGrace ★★★

Now you can see where Jim Carrey swiped 90% of his act.

Review by joelnox ★★½

Silly (it's a Jerry Lewis comedy what do you expect?) but innocuous with a very able supporting cast.

Review by Cora Berube ★½

A Gore Vidal play gone goofy. Reasonably charming, a few really great gags. Too bad it loses its steam in the final scenes..

Review by cammiesjammies ★★★½

a bit Light on jerry schtick, but the hollywood zanyness picks up the slack. 

includes a scene where Jerry the alien ogles a woman up and down, gleefully lists her bust and waist size, and then says all the alien women on his planet have no tits.   The jazz/beatnik sequence is the real Jerry comedic highlight as many have pointed out. I love how Jerry screams in agony.

Review by vivian 🗡 ★★

i really do think older comedies have the potential to be funny (one of my favorite comedies is from the great depression era) but this was just not funny at all

Visit to a Small Planet (1960)

Kreton (Jerry Lewis) is an innocent and childlike alien from the planet X-47 who has always been fascinated by Earth.

Eventually getting the opportunity to visit our planet to study the human race, he decks himself out in a Confederate uniform and lands in Richmond, Virginia, to help General Lee’s troops sort out those Yankees – unfortunately he’s 99 years too late for the Civil War.

And so he sets about observing the customs of 20th century Americans, mostly Ellen (Joan Blackman) and Conrad (Earl Holliman), but including a visit to a Beatnik nightclub (called The Hungry Brain) where – amongst other things – he gets to play the drums with Buddy Rich.

Repeatedly disobeying his teacher, Mr Delton (John Williams), and his rule against getting involved in humans’ lives, Kreton has all his extraterrestrial powers stripped away so he can discover for himself that being human comes with other, less desired, emotions like pain, sadness, and jealousy.

Once his cover is blown on Earth and he is reported to the police, Kreton decides that emotions are not worth the trouble, so he returns to his own planet.

Based on a Broadway stage play by Gore Vidal.

The Science Fiction Horror and Fantasy Film Review

Visit to a Small Planet (1960)

Rating: ★★½.

Director – Norman Taurog, Screenplay – Edmund Beloin & Henry Garson, Based on the Play Visit to a Small Planet by Gore Vidal, Producer – Hal Wallis, Photography (b&w) – Loyal Griggs, Music – Leigh Harline, Photographic Effects – John P. Fulton, Process Photography – Farciot Edouart, Makeup – Wally Westmore, Art Direction – Hal Pereira & Walter Tyler. Production Company – Wallis-Hazen Productions/Paramount.

Jerry Lewis (Kreton), Joan Blackman (Ellen Spelding), Earl Holliman (Conrad), Fred Clark (George Spelding), John Williams (Delton), Lee Patrick (Rheba Spelding), Gale Gordon (Bob Mayberry)

Kreton, a school pupil from the planet X-47, is found by his teacher joyriding in his flying saucer in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Sentenced to write out “I will not visit Earth” ten million times, Kreton instead steals a flying saucer and returns to Earth, coming down in Richmond, Virginia. He has been intending to observe the Civil War but discovers that he has arrived a hundred years too late. Kreton arrives at the home of Mayor Spelding who is determined to prove that flying saucers do not exist. Invited to stay with the Speldings, Kreton’s powers and his innocence in the ways of Earth culture cause a great many problems.

Visit to a Small Planet was the first occasion upon which the theme of the alien visitor was played for comedy on film. One must remember that Visit to a Small Planet came at the end of a decade where science-fiction had gotten very wound up and fearful about the threats posed by all things alien who perpetually seemed on the verge of trouncing humanity – The Thing from Another World (1951), The War of the Worlds (1953) – or stealing their bodies – Invaders from Mars (1953), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).

It is almost certain that Visit to a Small Planet inspired the same comedic mix of straight people trying to deal with a wacky alien visitor that we saw soon after in tv’s My Favorite Martian (1963-6). My Favorite Martian in turn led to other tv treatments such as Mork and Mindy (1978-82), ALF (1986-90) and 3rd Rock from the Sun (1996-2001) and films like My Stepmother is an Alien (1988) and What Planet Are You From? (2000).

The film started out as a satirical play Visit to a Small Planet (1957) by the famous essayist and novelist Gore Vidal, who is probably best known as the author of Myra Breckinridge (1968). Of course, when it came to the film adaptation, Visit to a Small Planet was turned into a vehicle for Jerry Lewis. Lewis was the height of his success in the late 1950s/early 60s with films like The Delicate Delinquent (1957), The Sad Sack (1958), The Geisha Boy (1958), The Bellboy (1960), Cinderfella (1960), The Ladies Man (1961), The Nutty Professor (1963) and Way … Way Out (1966).

Gore Vidal wrote the original play as a satire on the Cold War and the Communist witch hunts of Senator Joseph McCarthy, including a latter half where Kreton, having missed the Civil War, decides to start his own war and causes chaos with weapons of mass destruction. In the film version, the satire went out the window and the film became a purely physical comedy set around Jerry Lewis’s slapstick tumblings. Indeed, it is hard to work out going by the finished film even what Gore Vidal was trying to satirize. (Vidal was later vocal about his dissatisfaction with the film version).

Though usually maligned, Visit to a Small Planet remains a likeable piece of slapstick foolery. Jerry Lewis’s nonsensical bumblings are bizarre to watch, culminating in some inspired moments imitating the antics on a tv cigarette commercial, walking around the ceiling after drinking a glass of bourbon or casually blowing out electric lights before he goes to sleep. Norman Taurog, a light comedy director best known for a host of Elvis Presley films and genre efforts like Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965), runs the proceedings with a non-stop pace and lightning speed timing that manages to leave the gags hitting so often that he counters the lack of any real plot.

The cast play the nonsense with comparable deadpan, among which Joan Blackman provides a good deal of plain likeability. The film provides an amusing look in on the Beat Generation wherein Jerry Lewis’s absurdities – playing the bongos by remote control and levitating tables – are seen as even more mind-bending than the thought of rebellion.
