Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I loved seeing the amount of animals on this since Jerry Lewis' character was based on an apprentice vet. I loved the scene at the beginning where he clumsily fell down the steps and the poodle he dropped off started licking him like crazy. I thought that was just so adorable and the dog was absolutely gorgeous. I would have loved to have gotten all the dogs and gave them a cuddle if I was alive in that era haha!As usual, I always was so thrilled to hear Dean Martin sing his heart out and always getting the girl he loves. Of course we can't forget about the other legend Jerry Lewis and his tricks! We all could admit that he gets the girl too since he's also a charmer!It's a good movie, especially people who love horses!

Although this begins as a Runyonesque story, that disappears rather quickly as the film transforms itself in a somewhat typical Martin & Lewis film.There's some pleasant tomfoolery on a train with Dean as a sort of sultan and Jerry as a woman in a harem. And later a humorous ants in their pants dance. The race finale is well done."Moments Like This" is a nice song for Dean, but the version on Capitol Records had a better arrangement and vocal.Some of the scenes on the DVD were a little less than crisp, probably a result of this having been a 3D release back in 1953. Interestingly, Dick Stabile is not conducting the orchestra in the various scenes where an orchestra was involved.Pat Crowley is along as a vet and love interest for Jerry. Richard Haydn plays an alcoholic British jockey. Sheldon Leonard plays the head gangster.This is far from my favorite Martin & Lewis films, but it has its moments.

Pretty lame Martin and Lewis feature. The pair get tied up with mobsters and horse racing. Could have been better. Lots of Jerry Lewis antics and scenes are manufactured so that Jerry can do his thing. Must have been funny back when, but now his comedy seems like he's retarded and not as funny. The character he plays would have been institutionalized if any one acted that way today. But I forgot, this is a comedy "fantasy" where anything goes. Looks like a lot was left out as scenes don't match and they jump around out of order. At one point they seem to kidnap the Richard Hayden character and drive away. Later they seem to be back at the SAME HOTEL. The harem music was playing at the Hotel of the abduction, then the harem music and girls are at the place where the gangsters kidnapped two characters. Just doesn't make sense as do other editorial flaws. The color is nice, and one nice song with two attractive leading ladies. Now available on DVD and if you're a REAL Martin and Lewis fan, I guess it would be a almost must see!!!

This one is a typical Martin/Lewis vehicle. They are cousins who have to manage a lot of troubles. Jerry gets his satirical performances, Dino gets his songs - they would manage their roles asleep and have a lot of self-ironic. But there are still more positive aspects: It is the team´s first picture in color; George Marshall directs with sure hand and the supporting cast is very good although there are no big names in it; The first sequence in the movie where Dean is threaten by "Chambo Schneider" is a first class parody on gangster movie cliches of the Thirties; To sum it up it is a pleasure for fans like me. 7/10.
