Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis go West in this 1950s comedy
"Pardners" is one of a slew of comedies that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made together in the early 1950s. Most had two or more songs for which they get dubbed musicals as well. This one is also a Western. The two starts do quite well on horses, and obviously knew they way around Western lore. Of course, Jerry's the center of the comedy here. The two play Slim Mosely and Wade Kingsley - first as senior "pardners" in the West of 1885, and then as juniors of the former pardners.
And of course with these two there must always be one and sometimes two females in the picture. Here it's Lorri Nelson as Carol Kingsley and Jackie Loughery as Dolly Riley. Others in the supporting cast include Agnes Moorehead as Jerry's mom, Mrs. Matilda Kingsley, Lon Chaney Jr. as Whitey and Lee Van Cleef as Gus.
Watching this film these many years later, I could imagine that I might have enjoyed it more for entertainment as a young teenager when I saw it the first time in a theater. Today, it's just okay for an old-timer, but I think one that grandkids might yet enjoy for some of Jerry's slapstick.
