Hey pallies, for the delightful blogg "Hollywood Outbreak" (clicks on tagg of this Dinogram to goes there) comes this cool reminder of the debut of Danny Mann's Dinoflick, "Ada." I woulda so love to see this wonderful Dinomovie comes out on DVD. Loves the poster of our Dino and Miss Susan so much...and likes be sure to view the Dinoclip of the original movie trailer. I loves these scene where our Dino is runnin' for gov and at a campaign rally sings "May the Lord Bless You Real Good." If you goes to youtube and types in Ada and Dean Martin you will find the clip as well. Dinosharin', DMP
ON THIS DAY IN MOVIES: ADA 25 Aug 2009
On this day in 1961, M-G-M released ADA. Directed by the great DANIEL MANN, this soapy tale of a hayseed’s rise to the Governor’s Mansion and his downfall by association with a woman of the evening is just as juicy today as it was then. The perfect casting included DEAN MARTIN, SUSAN HAYWARD, WILFRED HYDE-WHITE, RALPH MEEKER and MARTIN BALSAM. Delightfully cheesy stuff!
Hey pallie, as always such a pleasure to hear from you and how cool in "Ada" you gets to mix to of your favorite interests....our Dino and the politico scene....way Dinocool indeed....

I saw this movie last night at TCM.. Wow :O Dean at his best when it comes to dramatic acting! Or there is a little bit of both there...
ReplyDeleteHey pallie, how cool to be able to see it...all I have ever seen is a Dinoclip or two...Dino is the man....
ReplyDeleteDMP,
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm primarily a political blogger, albeit a lifelone Dino fan, too.
Anyway, I saw this film way back when, when it was first televised. I've also seen it many times since.
Our Dino was primarily apolitical, so the theme of this film was unusual for him. But he pulled it off!
This film, as is Face in a Crowd with Andy Griffith, is an expose of the corruption of behind-the-scenes politics.
