Product Description:
My Friend Irma
One croons. The other cavorts. Fans couldn't get enough of them! Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made their crowd-pleasing film debuts in My Friend Irma, a 1949 funfest based on the long-running radio show. The guys are juice-bar operators who get a shot at new careers when a self-proclaimed manager discovers that Martin is better at squeezing out a musical 'C' than Vitamin C. Their story intersects with the antics of Irma (Marie Wilson), the likable airhead who meddles in the romantic life of her roommate (Diana Lynn). Irma may be a queen of loopiness, but it's Lewis who walks off as America's clown prince. Exclaimed the Los Angeles Examiner: 'There just hasn't been anything like him on land, sea or celluloid.'
My Friend Irma Goes West
Hilarious sequel to My Friend Irma!

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Light hearted kookie fun
this is a fun light-hearted movie. I tend to care for easy going, not too complicated movies. The sense of humor is classic, not modern. This movie is clean, in humor and in inuendos. If you lean toward the classics, i do believe this one would please.
Rating:  - The Good, the Bad, and the Funny...
The Good: They actually finally put out another couple of (and I use the term loosely) Martin and Lewis movies. It's interesting to watch the transition between the 2 films. In My Friend Irma, they are definitely in support. They are add on characters in an adaptation of a sit-com radio show. They don't show up until 10 minutes into the movie, and while Dean is a natural as the romantic interest (He takes to film like a duck to water. The Camera loves him), they're not quite sure what to do with ... Read More
Rating: - What a bargain, buy it for the radio show terrifically adapted to movies
My Friend Irma was an extremely popular radio show featuring the prototypical, 39-34-36, dumb blonde, brilliantly played by Marie Wilson.
The show was backed up with a strong supporting cast being the lazy shyster boyfriend, her sensible roommate, an elderly landlady who has the hots for a non-interested musician tenant.
Martin and Lewis are basically "throw ins", or comic additions created to allow a 30 minute radio show to last a movie length.
Much like a ... Read More
Rating:  - an early glimpse at Martin-Lewis
I had never seen these two films probably because Dean and Jerry are mainly supporting characters - kinda like how Abbott and Costello were in "Night in the Tropics." But even with neither of them being Irma or her friend, these two films are entertaining. Jerry and Dean get to give a glimpse of their nightclub act that made them the hottest duo working.
"Goes West" is revolutionary since it deals with television and Las Vegas. My favorite part of the film is that these folks are broke, ... Read More
Rating:  - First Two Films to Feature Martin & Lewis
MY FRIEND IRMA was a radio series in the 1940's and legendary Hollywood producer Hal Wallis thought the film version would be a great vehicle for up-and-coming talents Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The film was so successful that in 1950 Irma went West, with Dean and Jerry along for the ride. This launched the comedy duo into stardom and before the year was out they were headlining their own film ("At War with the Army").
Although these films are not Dean or Jerry's best work(s) I am excited ... Read More
