AT THE WAR WITH THE ARMY

Cinemavixion Review

Hal Walker's 1950 comedy, "At War with the Army," plunges viewers into the chaotic world of a World War II training camp, following the misadventures of Alvin Corwin, played by Jerry Lewis. As the perpetual 'low man on the totem pole,' Corwin navigates a series of comical mishaps that highlight the absurdities of military life. Dean Martin co-stars, providing a smooth counterpoint to Lewis's anarchic energy. The film, though dated in its comedic style, offers a lighthearted look at the challenges and camaraderie found during wartime preparation. It's a charming piece of classic Hollywood, showcasing the early dynamic of the iconic Martin and Lewis duo before their later, more polished successes.
