Fantastic post again. Your photograph connections are really good.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish you were in Singapore. We could really make something out of all this because from the 50s onwards in Singapore Dino was the best seller where pop vinyls were concerned. Nearly every person who loves western pop discussed Dean Martin. Many of us saw most of his movies at this theatre in town called the Odeon and the Cathay. When the movies went to the suburbs, they were always shown at the Roxy Cinema near the beach in the East Coast.
'Jumping Jacks', 'The Caddy' and 'Boeing Boeing' with a whole lot more movies that I can never forget.
'Jumping Jacks' I saw in an open field with an old projector screening it and about 30 people at this Community Centre. Whenever the wind blew, the screen (a large white sheet of cloth between two basketball poles) Dino and Jerry blew with it, contorting the b/w images on the sheet. But you know, it was fun and we really enjoyed those years. Besides, it was natural air-conditioning :-)
There were so many Dean Martin impersonators in Singapore, each one with a cigarette in hand and that half dazed walk that he usually did when he was performing. Of course there was also the glass in hand, half filled with Chinese tea?
Thanks DMP for preserving this great performer's heritage. Not only will he live forever your name will also be associated with him as one of his biggest and most faithful fans.
Cheers also for visiting my blog again and again.
