Hollywood or Bust

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Comedy starring Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Anita Ekberg

Steve Wiley and Malcolm Smith each win half of the same car in a cinema sweepstake. Steve wants to sell the car to pay off his gambling debts, but Malcolm, an ardent film fan, wants to drive to Hollywood to meet Anita Ekberg. This was the last film that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were to star in together.
(1956, PG)
