They would work together for the next decade. Lewis passed away in 2017. To see our Jerry Lewis UMR page click on this link. You will see all 49 of his movies ranked there.

This is truly a day “worthy to be marked with a great white stone” because at last Mr Cogerson has paid some attention to the order of billing for a movie.
And indeed in the billing for The Gray Man the order of merit is as Mr C suggests: Ryan Gosling/Chris Evans/Ana de Armas all in the same-size lettering and on the same line in the posters.
Spencer Tracy must be turning in his grave with excitement at this “first” from Mr C because arguably the last time that such a conversion as that which has happened to Mr Cogerson took place was on the road to Damascus a few thousand years ago as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles which is the 5th book in the New Testament.
In the past now are those bygone days when Mr C joined forces with former viewer John to dismiss the existence of billing as a movies issue.
Hey Bob….I am glad you enjoyed my “conversion”…lol. I have my white stone ready to go. Hope you have an awesome weekend.
