Los Angeles, CA (April 9, 2012) – NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products Group and TIME LIFE have announced the release of a new 3-DVD set featuring The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show, available at all major retailers on May 22nd. The Dean Martin Variety Show--UNCUT features 6 entire episodes from the series, digitally re-mastered and restored for this special collection. UNCUT captures the spirit of the show like no other DVD has before. Previous collections have featured clips from the program, but none offered fans the chance to view the show as it originally aired during its nine-year run on NBC from 1965 to 1974. Hosted by Dean Martin, the acclaimed variety and comedy show was one of the highest-rated in television history, garnering 12 Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe award (Dean Martin “Best Actor in a Comedy Television Series” 1967), and frequented by hundreds of guests from across the world of entertainment including legendary actors and actresses from the stage and screen, pop and jazz singers, dancers and comedians.The Dean Martin Variety Show--UNCUT boasts six classic episodes of The Dean Martin Variety Show, featuring Dean and an impressive array of guests. The variety and comedy show was like no other at the time. There were no rehearsals, no re-takes, and Martin simply just wasn’t a host behind a desk and a microphone – he took part in virtually all the segments and created a freewheeling setting that became a rare and exciting element for viewers. Whether talking and singing with guests or performing a comedy sketch, Martin put every guest at ease and was able to coax even the most serious actors to indulge in their comedic and musical sides. The show was as fun to be a part of as it was to watch, and no other DVD conveys that atmosphere better than UNCUT. Two 6 DVD collections of The Dean Martin Variety Show were released last year, featuring clips from 38 episodes, and have already sold over 5 million copies.
Among the comedians and actors featured in UNCUT are: Sid Caesar and Marguerite Piazza, who at the time were co-stars of the popular series Your Show of Shows; comic legends Allen & Rossi and Jackie Mason, together in one side-splitting episode; country-music legend Buck Owens, who duets with Dean, reminding fans that Dean loved country music; plus Broadway legends Zero Mostel and Tommy Tune.
A famed star of the silver screen, television icon, Grammy® Award-winning singing sensation and member of the renowned “Rat Pack,” Dean Martin’s show business legacy is legendary. His musical career features such classics as “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head,” “That’s Amore,” “Mambo Italiano,” “Everybody Loves Somebody,” “Sway,” “Volare,” and more, releasing dozens of album recordings over his lifetime. Starring in dozens of well-known movies including Ocean’s Eleven, Rio Bravo, The Caddy, and Who Was That Lady?,for which Martin received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor, coupled with a highly popular television career, Dean Martin certainly earned his nickname as the “King of Cool.”

ReplyDeleteHey pallie, likes Miss R.C. thanks ever so much for sharin' your Dino-'citement 'bout this wonderful break through on uncut episodes of the Dino-show. Might I inquire how long you have known Dino? Keeps lovin' our Dino!
ReplyDeleteI've been a Dino-addict since I was in eighth grade, and I'm a junior now.
ReplyDeleteHey pallie, likes thanks for the response Miss R.C. Mighta you share how you can to know, love, and honor our most beloved Dino?
ReplyDeleteWell, in all truth, I knew about Frank Sinatra before I knew about Dean. When I told my mother how I really enjoyed Frank, she told me that I'd probably enjoy Dean Martin. I had no idea who he was, and so she told me: "Do you know that song that plays in Little Stuart when his "parents" claim him, and they drive away in the red toy car, and that song 'That's Amore' starts to play?" I told her, sure, I knew the song, I loved it. "Well," she said, "That's Dean Martin singing. He's Italian." Well, I immediately went and bought the song and a few others, but my love for Dean really didn't happen until a while after that. I was listening to "Memories Are Made of This", and I found myself stopping what I had been doing, and for the first time REALLY listen to his voice, the lyrics, the music, and Wham! Bam! Thank You Dean! I was a goner. I was in love. And it's been that way ever since; it'll never change.
ReplyDeleteHey pallie, likes R.C. likes what a great story...simply loves to here the special ways that our Dino has welcomed each of his true pallies into his world. Loves the fact that it was your mommy-o who first planted the seeds of your Dino-devotion. Thanks ever so much for takin' the time to share how you have made the journey into the heart of our Dino! Keeps lovin' our most beloved Dino!
ReplyDeleteGreat to know that some people in business suits heard how disgusted fans were to get the awfully butchered DVD sets, longing for the real deal. At last, somebody listened!
ReplyDeleteHey pallie, indeed, likes this first set of UNCUT Dino-shows means that the Dino-masses are finally bein' heard...and will continue to be! Keeps lovin' our Dino!
