Dean Martin is a handsome, 31-year-old ex-millhand, ex-pug and ex-croupier in a casino, with a post-Crosby baa in his baritone. The zanier half of the comedy is furnished by Jerry Lewis, a 23-year-old with horse teeth and a bangtail bob, who is probably the most precocious comic to come out of the wings since Milton Berle was a Wunderkind.

When police last week took Paul to Kings County Hospital, Chief Psychiatrist Samuel Parker first ordered a cleanup: shave, haircut, bath. Physically, Paul was in pretty good shape, except for weakness of the leg muscles and bad teeth. He had once weighed 200 pounds and was down to 170. His answers were intelligent: when asked whether he had registered for the 1940 draft, he said he would not talk until he had seen a lawyer...
