KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Irishchatter I loved seeing the amount of animals on this since Jerry Lewis' character was based on an apprentice vet. I loved the scene at the beginning where he clumsily fell down the steps and the poodle he dropped off started licking him like crazy. I thought that was just so adorable and the dog was absolutely gorgeous. I would have loved to have gotten all the dogs and gave them a cuddle if I was alive in that era haha!As usual, I always was so thrilled to hear Dean Martin sing his heart out and always getting the girl he loves. Of course we can't forget about the other legend Jerry Lewis and his tricks! We all could admit that he gets the girl too since he's also a charmer!It's a good movie, especially people who love horses!
tvman-3 One of my two favorite Martin & Lewis films (the other being Artists and Models), this one was originally released in 3-D. I had the pleasure of seeing it that way a few years ago at the first 3-D fest held at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, but the added depth really didn't make that much difference in being able to enjoy it.Based on material by Damon Runyon (Guys & Dolls), much of it is typical Martin & Lewis fare, re-teaming them with heavy Robert Strauss and with Sheldon Leonard thrown into the mix for good measure. This may not be their absolute best, but it would be worth seeing if only for the scene that spoofs Cyrano de Bergerac to hilarious effect as Dean croons "I Only Have Eyes For You" before things go off the rails for Jerry.
ryancm Pretty lame Martin and Lewis feature. The pair get tied up with mobsters and horse racing. Could have been better. Lots of Jerry Lewis antics and scenes are manufactured so that Jerry can do his thing. Must have been funny back when, but now his comedy seems like he's retarded and not as funny. The character he plays would have been institutionalized if any one acted that way today. But I forgot, this is a comedy "fantasy" where anything goes. Looks like a lot was left out as scenes don't match and they jump around out of order. At one point they seem to kidnap the Richard Hayden character and drive away. Later they seem to be back at the SAME HOTEL. The harem music was playing at the Hotel of the abduction, then the harem music and girls are at the place where the gangsters kidnapped two characters. Just doesn't make sense as do other editorial flaws. The color is nice, and one nice song with two attractive leading ladies. Now available on DVD and if you're a REAL Martin and Lewis fan, I guess it would be a almost must see!!!
Gregor Hauser (gregorhauser) This one is a typical Martin/Lewis vehicle. They are cousins who have to manage a lot of troubles. Jerry gets his satirical performances, Dino gets his songs - they would manage their roles asleep and have a lot of self-ironic. But there are still more positive aspects: It is the team´s first picture in color; George Marshall directs with sure hand and the supporting cast is very good although there are no big names in it; The first sequence in the movie where Dean is threaten by "Chambo Schneider" is a first class parody on gangster movie cliches of the Thirties; To sum it up it is a pleasure for fans like me. 7/10.
