Interesting facts
Raymie is a 1960 drama film directed by Frank McDonald and starring David Ladd. It is perhaps best known for its title song, which was sung by comedian Jerry Lewis and written by Ronald Stein.
Production
The film was the first independent production of A.C. Lyles who raised half the budget from Continental Enterprises (a company whose biggest stockholder was Louis Wolfson) and half from Allied Artists. Allied agreed to distribute for seven years. Lyles persuaded Jerry Lewis to sing the theme song for free and John Wayne to endorse the film.
