My Friend Irma (1949) starring Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Marie Wilson, Diana Lynn

My Friend Irma was originally a long-running radio series, that became a pair of successful movies, the sequel being My Friend Irma Goes West. In this first film, the comedy team of Martin & Lewis were included as comedy relief. However, much like Abbott and Costello‘s first movie role in One Night in the Tropics, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis‘ roles were gradually expanded – not quite stealing the show, but coming close.
