Above and Right: Jerry Lewis, of the sensational comedy team of Martin and Lewis, strikes up a few of his characteristic poses used in film. Marie Wilson, queen of the dumb blondes, brings her talent and classy chassis back to the screen in Hal Wallis' film, "My Friend Irma." Diana Lynn earnestly studies her lines in "My Friend Irma," while waiting for the crew to prepare the set for the next scene to be shot. 44 THERE are laughs galore in Hal Wallis' new film, "My Friend Irma," what with Marie Wilson, who specializes in cute but oh-so-dumb blondes, making her screen comeback, and those zany comics of the night clubs, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, making their movie debut. The picture's about two working girls, Marie and Diana Lynn, and the difficulties they encounter in their pursuit of happiness — meaning John Lund and Don DeFore respectively. In the end, of course, it's Marie who, in her dumb way, manages to straighten things out.
