The Stooge
Bill Miller is an unsuccessful Broadway performer until his handlers convince him to enhance his act with a stooge—Ted Rogers, a guy positioned in the audience to be the butt of Bill's jokes. After Ted begins to steal the show, Bill's girlfriend and his pals advise him to make Ted an equal partner.

Reviews
Kenneth Blais
My favorite film of Dean and Jerry together. A good screen play and good performances by the whole cast. A bit more drama than the usual Martin and Lewis comedy. A fun film....
