Jerry Lewis doing the Typewriter bid, appears on the movie
Who's Minding the Store, if anyone can find a video of Jerry doing the Typewriter bid, LOL, please post it on both threads and telegram my nation that it has been posted, thank you.
01. Sailor Beware:
Al (Dean) and Melvin (Jerry) become friends after meeting in the Navy recruiting office. Al is all romance, and Melvin is allergic to women’s cosmetics. Al and Melvin go through training in San Diego, then ship out aboard a submarine for Hawaii. Melvin’s antics turn the sub upside down until he is chained to a torpedo. Al bets that Melvin can kiss the beautiful Corrine Calvet, and the whole crew wants in on that one. The antics surrounding the bet and a boxing match between Melvin and a professional fighter provide some of the most hilarious sequences in any Martin &
Lewis film. Sailor Beware grossed $27,000,000.00 at the box office worldwide in 1952. In today’s dollars, Sailor Beware would have been the highest grossing film of all time. This film solidified Martin & Lewis’ stature as box office champions of the world.
02. Living it Up:
Wally Cook (Janet Leigh), a reporter for the New York Chronicle, convinces her editor to let her do a series of articles on Homer Flagg (Jerry), a young man from New Mexico who is dying as a result of radioactive poisoning. Before she arrives out west, Homer learns from his doctor (Dean) that the diagnosis was a mistake and he's perfectly healthy. That doesn't stop them from accepting Wally's offer of an all- expenses paid trip to New York. Everyone in New York takes pity on Homer, but as the bills go higher and higher, the editor of the paper wants to know when this final fling is going to end. One of the best and funniest Martin and Lewis projects, with the great talent of Janet
Leigh, and a fantastic musical score.
03. You're Never Too Young:
Wilbur Hoolick (Jerry) is a barber's apprentice who unwittingly comes into the possession of the stolen Majuba diamond. From here it's pure pandemonium as Jerry, attempting to avoid the grasp of jewel thief and murderer Noonan (Raymond Burr), dresses up like an 11-year-old in a sailor suit and takes refuge in the girls' school where Bob Miles (Dean) is a teacher. Plenty of slapstick antics to delight the Lewis fans. Highlights include Noonan and Wilbur on the train, in a hysterically funny exchange between a supposed child and a jewel thief. This is a remake of THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR (1942).
04. Hollywood or Bust:
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis are terrific at blending side-splitting comedy, lively music and beautiful feminine co-stars into one incredible musical comedy event. Jerry's a fanatic movie buff driving to Hollywood to see his idol (Anita Ekberg). Martin reluctantly follows, getting Jerry into one hilarious scrape after another.
05. At War with the Army:
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis had their first star billing in this hilarious song and gag-fille comedy. The comic couple play Puccinelli and Korwin -- pals who join the army and get into a load of trouble on a military training base. While Puccinelli becomes a first sergeant, his buddy can't rise above the status of private because of his constant bumbling. Amid the clowning, Puccinelli tries to win over a beautiful young woman named Helen. The film's funny highlights include a sequence involving a non-cooperative soda machine, Jerry Lewis performing "The Navy Gets the Gravy But the Army Gets the Beans," and the team's
impersonation of the Bing Crosby-BarryFitzgeraldcharacters from the classic film "Going MyWay."
06. Pardners:
The dynamic duo team up for a Wild West showdown, Martin and Lewis style!
07. The Caddy:
In this zany farce, Harvey (Jerry Lewis) is a shy but talented pro golfer who, because he can't face the crowds, coaxes his buddy Joe (Dean Martin) into a big time tournament. As Joe's caddy, Harvey is a disaster, and the two have a hilarious quarrel on the fairway which results in their being banned from golf. Their antics, however, have led to a new career in comedy. Dean Martin sings a
number of lovely ballads to his girl (Donna Reed), and Jerry Lewis makes his kind of puppy love to his girl (Barbara Bates). The great comedy team makes this one of thier funniest films.
08. Scared Stiff:
In this funny remake of "The Ghost Breakers," Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis get mixed up with gangsters on a creepy Caribbean island. They play nightclub entertainers Larry Todd and Myron Mertz, who escape from the clutches of
mobsters in New York by fleeing to an island off the coast of Cuba, LOL. The boys come to the aid of an heiress who's trying to claim a castle on the island that's been left to her as part of an inheritance. However, they must contend with a criminal who's set on scaring them away from the
supposedly-haunted isle. Among the film's comic high points are Jerry Lewis doing an imitation of co-star Carmen Miranda (complete with platform shoes and fruit), La Chupeta, and a surprise appearance by another
popular comedy team during the film's final moments.
09. My Friend Irma:
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were a little-known vaudeville team when they made their screen debuts in a movie adaptation of the 1940s radio show MY FRIEND IRMA (1949). Though Martin and Lewis received only fifth and sixth billing in what was ostensibly a vehicle for actress Marie Wilson's eponymous ditzy-blonde character, the comedy duo's scene-stealing performances made them so popular that they were given top billing in the film's Wild West sequel, MY FRIEND IRMA GOES WEST (1950). This double feature presents both Hal Wallis-produced films for a historic look at the starmaking turns of one of the most inspired pairings in comedy and cinema.
