Oddly not
included in the recent Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis DVD box from Paramount, the
studio has decided to license out this film to Legend as part of the slate of
features they have let them handle. For
the record, here is our coverage of that Martin/Lewis box:

This is
no worse than Pardners with gambling
fool Martin turning to wacky cousin Lewis to help him pay his horse racing
debts. Hal Kanter co-wrote and directed
this minor entry in the teams’ cycle of hit films and it is good for completists,
but was only so impressive overall. No
big laughs, but at least I smiled a few times.
The 1.33
X 1 image is clean, but colors are dull and far from the luster the original
three-strip dye-transfer Technicolor print would have had. The Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono is compressed and
aged. The only extra is a trailer.
