At War with the Army (English Subtitled)

Comedy, Musical, War.

Set at an army post in Kentucky at the end of 1944, Vic Puccinelli and Alvin Korwin are former nightclub partners who are now enlisted in the United States Army. First Sergeant Puccinelli (Dean Martin) now ranks above his former equal, Private First Class Korwin (Jerry Lewis).

Puccinelli is desperately trying to get transferred from his dull job to active duty overseas. Meanwhile, Korwin desperately wants a pass to see his wife and his new baby. In addition, they both have to rehearse for the Army's talent show and avoid the wrath of Alvin's platoon sergeant, Sergeant McVey (Mike Kellin).

Along the way they both sing a few songs, and they do an impression of Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald by recreating a scene from Going My Way for the talent show. (Wikipedia)
