This special DVD and audio collection looks at the incredible career of a true super star featuring 20 superb songs and the full length feature film 'At War With The Army'. At War with the Army is a zany comedy starring the irrepressible Dean Martin and his long time film partner Jerry Lewis set in a WWII army training camp. The guys are the best of buddies in civvy street but it just isn't the same when they enlist in the army. The smart and streetwise Vic Puccinelli (Dean Martin) is given an elevated rank of 1st Sergeant whereas the 'challenged' Alvin Korwin (Jerry Lewis) has to settle for the lesser rank of private. The object of the training camp is to beef up be ready for combat and be able to take orders without question. Alvin is not going to be good at this as he soon discovers. His best friend Vic is no longer the guy to share a joke...he doesn't laugh any more he only shouts! Will Alvin ever get the hang of this 'soldier' thing - will he ever see his friend Vic again? A great knockabout comedy in typical Lewis style with the added laid back humour of the brilliant Dean Martin...marvellous!

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis star in their first film together directed by Hal Walker a hilarious slapstick comedy about two buddies' mishaps at an army training camp during world war II. After stealing the shows with their supporting roles in 'My Friend Irma' and its sequel 'My Friend Irma Goes West' Paramount decided to build an entire film around their popular contract play comedy duo Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. This 1950 release was a huge hit that would inspire numerous other successful teamings before they split up in 1956. Placing the two of them on an army base and getting them involved in all sorts of crazy situations on and off the front lines adds up to some sheer hilarity and one of their best teamings. Dean Martin is Vic Puccinelli a newly promoted sergeant who finds himself head over heels in love with pretty Polly Bergen. Desperate Martin enlists the aid of his bumbling pal Private Alvin Corwin (Jerry Lewis) to help him win her over.
