Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis are hilarious in this remake of "The Fleet's In" about submarine sailors on shore leave. Melvin Jones (Lewis) and his buddy Al Crowthers (Martin) experience many hilarious–including Melvin entering a boxing match with the Navy champion and Al romancing a sexy French chanteuse (Corinne Calvet). Betty Hutton (who made her debut in "The Fleet's In") makes a cameo appearance, and James Dean can be seen briefly in the boxing scene. Slapstick, songs, and pretty girls abound in this Martin and Lewis film.
