     My Friend Irma
1949  NR  COMEDY  1h 42min
CAST— John Lund, Marie Wilson, Diana Lynn, Don DeFore, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Hans Conreid
MUSIC— Roy Webb  DIRECTOR— George Marshall  BASED ON— My Friend Irma (radio)

     My friend Irma is a klutz. But within her inner circle of friends she can theoretically be safe from blunder. She and her conniving boyfriend soon discover two more potential friends: the proprietors of an orange juice stand (Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis). Boyfriend sees dollar signs when he hears Dino crooning while he works. Irma’s roommate has just landed a secretarial job with a wealthy sophisticate. If Irma’s conniving boyfriend can convince the sophisticate to invest in Dino… well, who knows what might happen? The only real reason to watch this one is the inclusion of Martin and Lewis, in their film debut. Even so, the film proves to be bland entertainment that, sadly, even Jerry Lewis can’t salvage.
OUR RATING— * ½
