Comin’ In on a Wing and a Playlist

Scene from movie Living It Up showing a stage set decorated like a street in New York City where Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, both in top hats and tails and black batons, are singing and dancing with a cardboard cutout of a presumably naked young woman in a red-striped barrel with a surprised look on her face. The barrel covers her from her armpits to her calves.
Dean & Jerry having a barrel of fun.
