I consider this little gem the best of the Martin and Lewis films. Not only is it funny, it's sweet and heartbreaking at times. Dean is his usual suave, handsome self. His singing in this one is top notch. Jerry is so sweet and lovable in this film, he just breaks your heart. I understand Hal Wallis didn't want to release this film for fear the fans of Dean and Jerry would hate it because of the way Dean treated Jerry in the film. It really parallels the real lives of Dean and Jerry. Dean as a singer, barely making it, Jerry as a pantomime artist also barely making it but when they met and teamed up the magic happened. Dean and Jerry's best effort by far.
