At War With the Army follows Alvin Corwin (Jerry Lewis), the low man on the totem pole, who goes from one mishap to another at an Army training camp in World War II with his friend 1st Sgt. Vic Puccinelli (Dean Martin). This was Martin & Lewis first starring feature and the early beginnings of their career together, which would last until 1956. As was typical in future Martin & Lewis features, At War With the Army portrays Martin as the higher level Sergeant ladies man with the crooner s voice, while Lewis plays the bumbling Private First Class. While realizing that the Army wasn t everything they hoped it would be, it did allow the charm of Martin and the antics of Lewis to shine through brightly.
