The 1970 film One More Time serves as a fascinating, if often overlooked, artifact of mid-century cinema, primarily notable for being the only feature film directed by comedy legend in which he did not also star. A sequel to the 1968 British spy spoof Salt & Pepper , the film reunites Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford as nightclub owners Charlie Salt and Christopher Pepper. The Vision of Jerry Lewis
Though Lewis typically exerted total creative control in front of and behind the camera, One More Time represents a rare moment where his directorial "look"—characterized by experimental truths and spiraling patterns of conflict—was applied to other performers. Critics have noted that while Lewis's mid-Sixties work often faced neglect, his direction in this film remains a "fascinating curiosity" for scholars of his work. Plot and Tone
