Movie Review: Jerry Lewis Breaks into Showbiz
Summary: 5 Stars
I generally enjoy most of the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movies. I find them to be consistently funny. Jerry Lewis is a master of physical comedy and his silliness, when used effectively, created excellent comedy. This movie may be a bit less than the best created by the Martin-Lewis team, but it is still very funny and nearly ranks with their best.
Dean Martin plays struggling comedian Bill Miller. Miller hires Ted Rogers (Lewis) to be a heckler in the audience, hoping to get laughs in the process. The result is beyond Bill's expectations. Ted is a natural comedian and gets laughs wherever he goes. However, self-centered Miller believes he is the star of the show and does not need Ted. Ted shows incredible loyalty to Miller regardless of how poorly Miller treats him.
As Bill's fame rises, and he continues to treat Ted as a nobody, Bill's wife Mary Turner (lovely Polly Bergen) becomes increasingly upset with Bill, wanting Bill to share the glory. Similarly, Ted's girl friend Genevieve "Frecklehead" Tait (Marion Marshall) becomes angry with Ted for allowing Bill to take advantage of him.
Eventually everything works out for the best, but not before we are treated to a series of jokes and slapstick comedy that will have you laughing from the beginning of this movie to the end.
Movie Review: My Favorite Martin & Lewis Film
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who has MD, I have been exposed to the comedy of Jerry Lewis all my life. Becoming a fan of Dean Martin's music and then finding out that he had teamed with Lewis, I was very excited to uncover some lost comedic gems. After reading several of the books written about this classic comedy team and after seeing all of the Martin & Lewis movies, The Stooge has firmly stood out as my favorite. Especially after knowing how their relationship was in the years to come, this film is like looking straight into their true feelings for one another. The patented night club bits are here, just as in every one of their movies, and the songs will be stuck in your head for days. Even though it is in black & white, everyone of every age will enjoy this movie.

This movie was made at the suggestion of Jerry Lewis to the movie studio to make a movie based on their original stage act that rocketed both of them to fame. The movie is one of Jerry Lewis's most favorite and mine as well. This out of all of their movies is your opportunity to see the legendary act on the motion picture screen if you never had the chance to see them both live on stage back in their prime. I highly recommend this one movie to all Martin & Lewis fans that want to see the two of them as they really were.
Movie Review: MARTIN & LEWIS
Summary: 5 Stars
FANS OF THE COMEDY DUO WILL LOVE THIS RARITY. IT HAS AN ALMOST SYMMETRICAL STORYLINE TO HOW THIER CAREERS TOGETHER WERE GOING, EXCEPT IN THE FICTIONAL VERSION - THEY RE-UNITED THEIR TEAM AND STAYED TOGETHER.
I WOULD SAY THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THEIR BEST WORK.
Movie Review: Jerry Lewis is tops.
Summary: 5 Stars
How can you beat Jerry Lewis at his prime? This movie is excellent and deserves to be seen, even if you aren't one of his fans. Dean Martin hits the skids when he loses his humility... a good lesson for all of us.
