At War With The Army (Goodtimes)

The Comedy Classic That Shot Martin and Lewis to Stardom

After co-staring as comedy relief in My Friend Irma and My Friend Irma Goes West, the legendary team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis had their first lead roles in this hilarious service farce that sealed their success.You'll see why when the boys wind up as army recruits Sgt. Victor Puccinelli (Martin) and PFC Alvin Korwin (Lewis) in the most disorganized unit into the armed forces, and Lorwin tries to get home to see his new baby.Dino sings and romances the girls, Jerry serenades Sgt. McVey (Mike Kellin) in drag, and both give a dead-on impersonation of Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald from Going My Way in the company's talent show.With director Hal Walker (who also led the boys through their next two films, That's My Boy and Sailor Beware) firmly in command, this 1950 classic helped put them among the biggest boxoffice draws in history.
