\"\"<\/a>Always prone to giving the consumer more bang for their bucks, Mill Creek Entertainment compiles a six DVD set of the best of Martin and Lewis. And while it may not have their all time greats, it still manages to be a solid set that can mesh in with any collection of a Martin and Lewis fanatic. The set comes packed in the usual slip case and compiles a lot of past releases for one fine compendium you can entertain yourself with for hours. In this case, it\u2019s almost thirty hours total of Martin and Lewis shenanigans with five movies and twenty eight episodes of \u201cThe Colgate Comedy Hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the Comedy Triple Feature with Jerry Lewis of \u201c3 on a Couch,\u201d starring Jerry Lewis as a man named Christopher whose psychiatrist girlfriend refuses to move with him to Paris due to her counseling of three women with relationship problems. To end her problem, he secretly begins dating the trio of women taking on three different characters, hoping to solve their psychiatric issues. \u201c3 on a Couch\u201d definitely flexes Lewis\u2019 comedic ability and his knack for various characters. While the premise is slimy, it\u2019s at least novel. \u201cHook Line and Sinker\u201d is less a comedy and more a slice of life as Lewis plays Peter, a man who is told he\u2019s going to die. Hoping to get the most out of his last days he begins partying, and running up scads of bills out of his festivities\u2014only to find out that he isn\u2019t dying after all.<\/p>\n

Finally \u201cDon\u2019t Raise the Bridge, Lower the River\u201d is Lewis at his worst, as a con man that gets in deep when his wife divorces him. It\u2019s the lesser of the trio. There\u2019s the Comedy Double Feature with Dean Martin featuring \u201cHow to Save a Marriage and Ruin Your Life,\u201d starring Martin as David Sloane, a bachelor whose friend, played by Eli Wallach is having an affair. After David\u2019s friend promotes the woman who saw him having the affair, David assumes she\u2019s the mistress and makes a play for her to prove she doesn\u2019t really care for his friend. \u201cHow to Save a Marriage\u2026\u201d is a fairly fun and entertaining comedy about misunderstandings and madcap situations. It works as another of the many relationship comedies with a cast like Eli Wallach, Stella Stevens, and Martin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho Was That Lady?\u201d stars Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh and Martin in another goofy comedy where Curtis plays a Chemistry professor whose friendly kiss from a student turns in to a divorce from his wife, who mistakes it as an affair. Enter Martin as a TV writer who convinces Curtis\u2019 character to save his marriage by concocting an excuse about him being an FBI agent protecting his cover, leading to confrontations with the real FBI, CIA, and assorted authorities. It\u2019s another solid comedy in the set with amazing acting talent behind it. Lastly, but not least, the final four discs in the collection includes twenty eight episodes of \u201cThe Colgate Comedy Hour,\u201d the iconic variety show filled with various hosts. The twenty eight included are, of course, with Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, or the comedy pair. It\u2019s a great re-visiting of a typically raucous and funny series, and a great capper to a solid set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
