It's a terrific set--if only from an anthropological point of view. The commercials alone are worth the price of admission: Colgate prevents "non-pleasing" breath and enables women to catch eligible men; animated leprechauns will scour your kitchen and bathtub; Gene Barry sings a song about shampoo. Most important there is a "live" studio audience and Martin& Lewis are not above interacting with them. It will be your only opportunity to see Burt Lancaster reprise his alcoholic "Doc" from COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA with Jerry Lewis. Martin and Lewis were--for their brief decade together HUGE. It's no coincidence that Hal Wallis recognized their box office value, as he did Elvis!
