In some Martin/Lewis movies, Jerry is the one that is hard to take but in this one - it is Dean. Dean Martin is a total schmuck through MOST of it. *Spoiler* Jerry is his future brother-in-law and friend, acting as caddy. He is the son of a famous golfer and knows the game but can't play in front of people. He is supposed to help Dean win and then the winnings, when they appear, will benefit the whole family (Jerry then being a part) but Dean meets Donna Reed (AKA money). He appears smitten by the 'good life' and doesn't want to admit to her that he isn't rich, like most of the golfer set, and admit to her too that Jerry is his friend. Jerry, the caddy, is then treated horribly by EVERYONE (even fellow caddies). Dean, when he sees it, allows it and even contributes towards it. To me, this part of the movie is very hard to sit through - though all is well in the end. Donna Reed is not just 'the rich b----' but turns out to be okay. I 'still' don't understand why Dean is so upset towards the end, when he stalks off. Jerry is the one who should be angry. And oh, the reviewer who complained about Jerry's horning in on Dean's songs ... come on - do you really think he was the one to make that call? The studio did. Their movies were, after all, made to make money and Jerry's shenanigans were very popular. Jerry Lewis does have huge ego (to this very day and I am, by no means, a fan) but it really was Dean's idea to end the partnership and there are always two sides to every story.
