 Can't Believe They Finally Did IT!!!!!Sep 08, 2006
By J. Snoke
"classicmovieking"
I have waited years upon years for them to put "That's My Boy" out on either DVD or VHS...and here it is! This is a great collection! Jumping Jacks, The Caddy, The Stooge, That's My Boy and a whole lot more. These are CLASSIC Martin and Lewis films and probably their best! That's My Boy is about a sniveling weakling (Lewis), born to a father who was All American...Mr Jock if you will. Dean Martin on the other hand is Mr All American, and he has a father who is a sniveling weakling. Well, Jerry's father wants to make a football pro out of Jerry and asks Dean to help him along. Lots of fun in this movie. Jerry playing football and even at practice is absolutly Hilarious. The hunting scene, where Jerry and his dad go to do some really manly things is a riot. A really great flick. Looking forward to the release.

A "handsome man and a monkey" finally make it to DVD!Nov 16, 2006
By Randy E. Halford
"Comedy Fan"
Many, many fans (myself included, of course) have been awaiting the day that Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis would get their due in an official movie DVD collection...that day has finally arrived!
All the early films are here (with only "At War With The Army" curiously missing from the line-up). It's interesting to see Dean & Jerry's movie debut in "My Friend Irma"---Dean makes an impressive showing as smooth as his singing, while Jerry looks as if he's barely graduating from high school! The film was a big hit, which was naturally followed up with a sequel, "My Friend Irma Goes West". This time around, the boys' characters were integrated firmly in the plot, gravitating toward equal billing with the cast. From that moment on, there was no stopping them.
The 2 "service" comedies here, "Sailor Beware" & "Jumping Jacks", are the most enjoyable outings of their kind since Abbott & Costello did their part for WWII a decade earlier.
My favorites? "That's My Boy", an early 1951 effort, has a good story with Jerry as the frail son of an old college sports hero (a blustery Eddie Mayhoff in a hilarious supporting role), who tries to make good with the help of current BMOC (Dean). "Sailor Beware" is gag-packed Navy fun from start to finish. "The Stooge" is a semi-autobiographical tale combining laughs and poignancy; it also proved that the boys could handle dramatic elements in their storylines as well. "Scared Stiff" goes for atmospheric chills & chuckles at a creepy Cuban estate. It even borrows elements from Bob Hope's "The Ghost Breakers" comedy (dead bodies, a creepy mansion, zombies)---even both Hope & Bing Crosby make cameos at the end of the film. Finally, "The Caddy" is one of their best, a bright, snappy comedy which starts off on the right foot with the boys performing on stage.
It's about time Paramount acknowledged these boys' contribution to entertainment. Can't wait for Volume 2!

We Can All Sleep Easier TonightSep 14, 2006
By Mark Ebert
Paramount Pictures has wisely released the first half of the Martin and Lewis collection. This box set features some of their most memorable movies together. "The Caddy" is a fun romp that features Dean's timeless "That's Amore". "Jumping Jacks" and "Sailor Beware" are fun service pictures of which the world rarely sees today (services films that is, not these wonderful classics). The best is "That's My Boy" an amazing comedy drama.
This, with the solo Jerry Lewis compilation from Paramount are must-haves. Must haves also include all of the Martin and Lewis pictures, and solo films, not yet on DVD, so let's hope they keep'em coming!

BRAVO!Nov 12, 2006
By Richard J. Goldschmidt
"Rick Goldschmidt"
I am a HUGE M&L fan and collector and was disappointed when this was pushed back originally BUT HALLOWEEN was sweeter with this piece of eye candy this year! Love the HIRSCHFELD art on the packaging and like that PARAMOUNT used the original logos and movie poster/lobby card art on the inside! Can't wait for set 2! My only minor complaint is that they did not include all of the trailers and did not do a Documentary...maybe they can remedy that with set 2. I like it! I like it!

 Martin & Lewis Collection, Vol. 1Apr 12, 2009
By Harry Brewer
The Martin & Lewis Collection, Vol. 1 concentrates on the early part of their career. Some of these are uneven at best, Martin & Lewis were still trying to figure what translated well to the screen, this included the writers too. When it comes to Jerry Lewis you love him or you hate him. Personally, I liked him more when I was younger, his antics & mugging are a little harder to take as an adult.
You can see their progression as actors as the set moves into their career. By the time you get to the last film of this set they have improved immensely, becoming actors, even.
My Friend Irma***
This is a loose translation of a radio program in which Martin & lewis were inserted. Certainly, they aren't the stars but they make an incredible impact in their debut. In this one Martin is trying to become a nightclub singer (really?) & is managed by Irma's boyfriend. Lewis is an inept employee of an orange juice establishment. It's pretty thin stuff. Lewis dominates the scenes with his over-the-top antics. Martin is more than adequate as an actor.
My Friend Irma Goes West***
By the time this sequel was made Martin & Lewis were the stars & the whole original premise of the radio show becomes secondary or is scrapped. It is interesting to see Las Vegas so young in its life yet to have all of its bright lights. Martin is going west assuming he has been awarded a movie contract & the other characters are along for the Lewis rollercoaster. Even with only his second film Lewis is already polarizing the audience: They think he's the biggest fool or the gretest comedian ever.
Sailor Beware***
This was the team's first true starring vehicle. It's somewhat of an improvement but by now the Martin & Lewis characters are set. Martin is the smooth ladies' man & crooner, Lewis is inept, shy, sickly & sometimes allergic to women. Corinne Calvet makes an appearance as an ice queen that no man can get at. Highlight of the film is Lewis preparing for his boxing match. The routine in the locker room is hilarious as is the scene when they get in the ring. Truly classic.
That's My Boy**
There's so little that's believable in this film it's a near waste of time. Eddie Mayehoff ii his screen debut is nothing short of a ham. His character is nothing more than a caricature. Martin & Lewis are unbelievable as high school graduates about to enter college, none of it rings true. Once again Lewis walks off with the highlights as he becomes the hero by winning a football game.
Jumping Jacks****
By this time Martin & Lewis are becoming actors. The service comedy routine had already gone well twice with the team so a third one was done. Martin & Lewis have become paratroopers which is a great setup for Lewis: How much funnier can it get when a man can't even fold his own parachute when his life is at stake?
The Stooge****
This film actually gives the team a script where they prove their acting mettle. Martin wants to make it on his own as a singer but he's too vanilla without a comedic partner. He ditches one to go to solo but he bombs. He's then teamed up with Lewis & they become a sensation. Martin doesn't want to give Lewis credit in the team or their success nor does he believe Lewis is the reason he's successful. The Stooge allows the team to be more themselves & has some quality moments.
Scared Stiff***
This film is a remake of Bob Hope's The Ghostbreakers. It's not just a remake, it's almost the same film. The only difference is the Martin & Lewis parts are, essentially, the Bob Hope character split into two parts. It's a good vehicle for the team.
The Caddy****
This film along with Jumping Jacks are the highlights of this set. Lewis is the son of a golfing great & has great potential himself except he can't play in front of people. Martin is the son of a fisherman but gets seasick. Lewis is engaged to Martin's sister though Martin & Lewis haven't met one another yet. Lewis is, of course, inept as a department store employee & has a scene where he wreaks havoc in the store. Then Lewis gets the idea of starting a golf instruction school. Martin becomes his protegee & they have immediate success. Golf greats have cameos in the film. This role for Lewis is actually the most mature of his roles in this set. This is also the film that Features the song "That's Amore".
This set has good value & is great for Lewis fans.
