At War With The Army,

This review is from: At War With the Army (DVD)
Hollywood Classics Collection DVD1950 Black & White with a running time of 92 min. Directed by Hal Walker Starring Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin and introducing Polly Bergen The transfer from VHS to DVD was done well. The picture quality and sound are very good. In this film Martin and Lewis are starting out their career together. Martin plays a Sergeant that has girl troubles and Lewis plays a bumbling Private First Class. They find out that the Army isn't so accommondating to their wants or desires. Martin's singing in this film reminds us of how remarkable and charming he was. The antics Lewis performs shows us his talent of mockery and silliness. The best scenes of this film are when Lewis is dressed as a woman singing a love song to a drunk soldier and Lewis' battle with the soda machine. This film is a good family film but probably wouldn't keep the attention of the younger generations. However, for our generation, it is a nice look back at the beginning career of Martin and Lewis.

Very Mediocre,

This review is from: At War With the Army (DVD)
This (shudder) Madacy released disc is of the 1950 Martin and Lewis vehicle "At War With the Army." It was their first film together as stars, and was a forgettable, mildly enjoyable little comedy. It was adapted (and I use that term loosely) from a stage play, which is kind of obvious considering most of the action takes place in two rooms. It does contain an almost memorable Soda machine gag, along with a truly curious scene of Jerry Lewis dressed as a lady. The most memorable part is probably the shameful song "The Navy Gets the Gravy (But the Army Gets the Beans)", sung by Jerry at his most high pitched.The DVD picture is pretty typical of Madacy. It's scratchy, with poor contrast, and visible compression artifacts. It is, however, easier to make out than a previous video I had bought from Front Row Entertainment. The discs features include a trivia game, a picture of the original poster, newsreels (not from "At War With the Army"), and bloopers (from an Abbott and Costello movie, not from "At War With the Army.")
