EXPLOITATION a PICTURE f of the issue V Sailor Beware It is doubtful that any comedy team since Abbott and Costello in their hey-day have captured the fancy of the mass of entertainment-seekers as have Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. In their comparatively brief career in the movies I bolstered by a hugely successful television series), the comedians have built up a following that should rate them as the No. 1 attraction of the entertainment world. The boxoflice success of their previous films will probably pale into insignificance with "Sailor Beware." that old war-horse of a plot that serves as a thread on which to hang the hilarious inanities that are served up in "Sailor Beware." Jerry Lewis' genius for omedy may reach its high point — thus far — in his depiction of a jug fighter, scared to death, but -till boasting of his prowess in the ring. According to FB reviewer Karma, the "classic" fight se[uence is "a howl — but then, neary everything about 'Sailor Beware' is a howl." Another wonderful crowd-pleasi is the scene in which the fumblng Lewis, fouling up the works of [he submarine to which he is asNigned. is finally lashed to the periscope by the distraught captain. There are many other scenes hat will have the theatre in an upoar — the induction where tbe lypodermic needle can extract only vater from Jerry's veins; Jerry, dlergic to cosmetics, mobbed by he girls: his impersonation of a nila dancer. These, and a score nore. should keep patrons howling md the booffice happy, wherever 'Sailor Beware" makes its appearmce. At right, Jerry Lewis discovers his opponent is a professional pug in the hilarious boxing scene. Below. Corinne Calvet gives Martin and Lewis something to think about as they prepare for shore leave.
