Stooge ( 1951 )

One Sings, One Clowns...Together They´re Showbiz Magic

One of the greatest comedy teams reached new entertainment heights in this beloved film that mixes Martin and Lewis´ trademark hilarity with a heart-tugging story of friendship.

Dean Martin stars as Bill Miller, a struggling, 1930s vaudeville singer whose small act could use a big-time boost. Help arrives in the form of fall-down-funny comic Ted Rogers (Jerry Lewis). Teamed together, Miller and Rogers climb to the top of the showbiz heap, but as their success grows, so does Miller´s ego. When Miller suddenly fires Rogers, he figures he´s bound for stardom; what he gets is a tough lesson in what it means to be a class act...and the realization that his ex-partner wasn´t just a "stooge" - he was a star.

Featuring the song favorite "Who´s Your Little Whozis?" and a classic production number complete with rising curtains, falling sandbags and a flying comic-on-a-rope, The Stooge is a movie treasure.
