context_page_description: The Nutty Professor is a 1963 American science fiction comedy film directed, co-written by, and starring, Jerry Lewis. The score was composed by Walter Scharf. The film is a parody of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
  The Nutty Professor has been described as perhaps the finest and most memorable film of Lewis's career. In 2004, The Nutty Professor was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
  A remake was released in 1996, starring Eddie Murphy and Jada Pinkett-Smith, directed by Tom Shadyac. A sequel, Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, followed in 2000, and an animated sequel to the 1963 film was released in 2008. Lewis directed a musical theatre version in 2012.
