Starring: Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis
Directed by: George Marshall
Synopsis: Singer Larry Todd (Dean Martin) and bumbling busboy Myron Mertz (Jerry Lewis) get drawn into a web of intrigue, murder and mystery when they meet the lovely Mary Carroll (Lizabeth Scott) who is the heir to a spooky Caribbean estate.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): At the beginning of the film there is a quick gag when Larry enters the club, coming in from a heavy rain. The clerk notes, “Boy it’s sure raining cats and dogs.” “Oh, it sure is, Pops,” Larry replies and he proceeds to take a grey and white kitten out of his pocket and place it on the desk.
He then pulls a puppy out of his pocket and sets it next to the kitten.
“There you are, Pop. Find a home for ’em. Brother and sister,” Larry adds.
Final Mewsings: Their parents must have had an interesting relationship!
