When Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis split up in 1956, the duo turned out to be Hollywood's last significant seemingly permanent comedy team. Ironically, a major neglected historical fact about Martin and Lewis was that their interaction was something new to America's time-honored movie team tradition. With the exception of "The Stooge" (1953), Martin and Lewis' formula was based upon a friendly rapport. (Paramount underlined that point by keeping "The Stooge" on the shelf for two years for fear at how the public would respond.) In Lewis' multiple memoirs since the break up, he has defined their formula as a goofy, sickly man-child attempting to emulate a cool, casual older brother. For instance, in "Sailor Beware" (1952), arguably their best picture, the two meet at a Navy induction ceremony and Martin immediately begins looking out for Jerry's needy nerd, fittingly named Melvin.
