    • Trivia
      Filmed on Colonial St. at Universal's backlot, Mrs Van Cleeve's house was cannibalized to build the front of the Bates house for "Psycho", and a house a couple of doors down will be tricked out to become the Munsters' home a few years later.
    • Goofs
      Although the streets are always wet in the outdoor shots (a common Hollywood technique), the sidewalks are all dry and there are no clouds in the sky.
    • Quotes

      Sandra Naples: Carla's first movie is coming on The Late Late Early Late Show.

      Clayton Poole: The Creature From The Lower Tar-Pits? You're kidding! Oh boy, I saw that sixteen times remember? Doc Simpkins had to give me special massages.

    Jerry Lewis and three babies

    A famous movie star has triplets, but doesn't want the public to find out.So she leaves the babies to Clayton Poole (Lewis) to babysit.Bad mistake?I think not.I think he does a pretty good job if you ask me.Rock-a-Bye Baby is a great Jerry Lewis movie from 1958.It has that Jerry's well known slapstick comedy and it's also a warm and touching movie at the same time. It is beautiful to watch Jerry and Salvatore Baccaloni singing Dormi-Dormi-Dormi.This is a movie that makes you laugh and a movie that may make you cry.I didn't cry.I rather laugh when I'm watching a movie.Especially a Jerry Lewis movie.I'm funny that way. But anyway, watch Rock-a-Bye Baby if you want to see a funny and tender Jerry Lewis comedy.
