The Comedy Classic That Shot Martin and Lewis to Stardom. After co-staring as comedy relief in 'My Friend Irma' and 'My Friend Irma Goes West' the legendary team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis had their first lead roles in this hilarious service farce that sealed their success. You'll see why when the boys wind up as army recruits Sgt. Victor Puccinelli (Martin) and PFC Alvin Korwin (Lewis) in the most disorganized unit into the armed forces and Lorwin tries to get home to see his new baby. Dino sings and romances the girls Jerry serenades Sgt. McVey (Mike Kellin) in drag and both give a dead-on impersonation of Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald from 'Going My Way' in the company's talent show. With director Hal Walker (who also led the boys through their next two films 'That's My Boy' and 'Sailor Beware') firmly in command this 1950 classic helped put them among the biggest boxoffice draws in history. Please note: This is a NTSC disc.

A fascinating compilation of some of the more exciting highlights of the 1987 Monte Carlo Rally! The 1987 Monte-Carlo Rally marked the start of a new era for the World Rally Championship. The Group B 'supercars' had been banned but turbo-charged and four-wheel-drive machines ensured there was still plenty of speed drama and controversy. Experience the opening round of the 1987 World Rally Championship and a new era for the sport in these exceptional highlights. Juha Kankkunen had switched to Lancia for '87 and it seemed a good move as the Delta 4WDs of the World Champion and teammates Bruno Saby and Miki Biaison dominated the opening stages of the five-day event. As the battled raged across snow and ice the fight to be 'best of the rest' featured Walter Rohrl in the Audi 200 Quattro the Ford Sierra Cosworth of Stig Blomqvist the Mazda 323 of Timo Salonen and reigning Group A World Champion Kenneth Eriksson in the Volkswagen Golf GTi. Despite Rohrl's best efforts this would be a duel between Kankkunen and Biasion. With just one day left the dominant Lancias faced exclusion after a protest. The team escaped sanction but there was further controversy when Biasion secured an unexpected victory ahead of a clearly unhappy Kankkunen. Fabulous footage and revealing interviews bring you all the action drama and controversy from the first chapter of a new era in World Rallying. Monte-Carlo Rally 1987 is part of a collectable set of classic Monte-Carlo rally highlights programmes.
