The review, which describes the movie as "a very dopey film", devotes much of its space praising the Lewis' performance, mentioning, in part: "...This freakishly built and acting young man, who has been seen in night clubs hereabouts with a collar-ad partner, Dean Martin, has a genuine comic quality..."
Includes a one col. photo of "Jerry Lewis in 'My Friend Irma'."
