Summary: At War With The Army
Review: Hollywood Classics Collection DVD
1950 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.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THE NAVY GETS THE GRAVY WHILE THE ARMY GETS THE BEANS
Review: My mom bought me At War With The Army and THE MARTIN&LEWIS show from when they appeared on the Colgate Comedy Hour and I thought that this movie would be good like their other movies but mine had tracking I had to fix all through the movie-and it screwed up two times!

This movie was boring-all it had was people running around-and the plot didnt even go nowhere-if there was a plot!

And what was up with Jerry wearing that dress?
that part was dumb!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A WINNER...
Review: This one was a nice surprise. I had already seen the movie, and had enjoyed it, but didn't know what to expect from this DVD. Face it, Madacy dosen't rank too high with collectors as far as picture quality goes! But here they surprise me with a print thats scratched, but extremely clear. And a bonus of newsreel footage from the year in excellent condition, as well as a blooper reel (not from "Army")? Things are looking up here, and at six bucks and change, some value as well! Fans should seek this one out.
