Title:
At War with the Army
Synopsis:
Alvin Corwin is low man on the totem pole, and goes from one mishap to another at an army training camp in World War II.
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). The plotline adheres a bit too strictly to its source, a popular play by James B. Allardice: thus, this military farce is more stagebound and contrived than Martin and Lewis’ later films. Mike Kellin repeats his Broadway role as M
