Sometimes we forget what a great comedic duo Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis was. From their 1951 film, “That’s My Boy”, Lewis plays Junior Jackson, the son of two distinguished athletes, but remember this is Jerry Lewis, so what kind of athlete do you expect him to be? Bill Baker (Dean Martin) helps Jackson make the Ridgefield College Football Team (Jackson’ father alma mater) and through events that could only be done by Jerry Lewis somehow wins the big game. We bet this was huge in France!
