At War with the Army (1950)

My Rating

Movie Info

Though At War With the Army was the third film appearance of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, it was the team's first starring vehicle. A pattern is set herein for all the Martin-Lewis flicks to follow: Martin plays a self-assured romeo, forever bursting into song, while Lewis is a hopeless screw-up unable to perform the simplest task without wreaking havoc (in this one, he can't even operate a Coke machine properly). Mike Kellin repeats his Broadway role as M&L's tough topkick while Polly Bergen

Silly, none-too-funny Martin and Lewis romp.

Sets the low standard for all the team's future comedies by Lewis doing the physical comedy and Martin operating as the aloof straight man.

Audience Reviews for At War with the Army

I just never understood the Jerry Lewis phenomenon. He is obnoxious and not funny at all. There are a few laughs here and there, but not near enough laughs. For fans of the stars only.

quite funny military yarn starring the great comic duo of Martin and Lewis. Not the best the two made together, but definitely enjoyable.
