DEAN MARTIN
Published August 4, 2016 by cinestranger





In 1964, Dean Martin was the star of a film in which he played a popular singer named Dino, who liked to drink excessively and caught migraine if he did not love every night. It was obviously a caricature of Dean Martin character; the director was Billy Wilder and the film was titled Kiss Me, Stupid. This rather cruel satire has this spice Dean Martin has probably provided the best interpretation. Soon after, Phil Karlson tried to use the same recipe to launch its series the Silent, in which the famous secret agent Matt Helm parodied much less than James Bond ... Dean Martin, both performer and model. We must believe that there is in the image of the actor something that the public admire, envy and find funny. The rest can wonder how this is close to the true personality of Dean Martin out of the studios: it is highly doubtful that a lazy alcoholic could keep on hand as a successful career, as well as organized and sustainable, as in the comic field (especially with Jerry Lewis) in the dramatic field (Like a flood, Rio Bravo). What is particularly striking about him is the dedication: behind the facade of the gentleman who pretended "not-being-a-player-but-just-a-merry-wino-fucker" hides a comedian first class.

 

His real name Dino Crocetti, was born June 17, 1917 in Steubenville (Ohio). He began his career as a singer in nightclubs and famous collaboration with Jerry Lewis started in 1946. They made their first film together (My good friend Irma) in 1949 and, from 1952, they were among largest commercial entry terms of the United States. They made eighteen films together before separating in 1956, and they had somehow taken the place of Abbott and Costello. The best films that Lewis and Martin have made together are the last they shot with Franck Tashlin: Artists and Models and Hollywood or Bust; but in none of these two Martin's character was well developed.
The commercial value of Martin declined after its separation from Lewis, but he made a great comeback three years later in Bal cursed (in casual soldier) in Some Came Running (in provincial player) and Rio Bravo (in drunken gunman rehabilitated by John Wayne). After this last role, one of the best he has ever held, it has been great in a thunder number with Judy Holliday.



Having then joined the small "clan" of Frank Sinatra in his private life, he was a partner in fun movies and unpretentious as the Las Vegas Unknown; then he again became one of the ten most quoted Hollywood actors with the series Matt Helm. Since then, Dean Martin still has participated in several successful films, including Airport (where he incarnated again a Don Juan) and several good westerns.

Until his death on 12.25.1995 His last years have been marked by sadness and désaroi after the death of his son in a plane crash in 1987.

DEAN MARTIN

Publié le 4 août 2016 par cinestranger


En 1964, Dean Martin a été la vedette d'un film dans lequel il incarnait un chanteur populaire nommé Dino, qui aimait boire plus que de raison et attrapait la migraine s'il ne faisait pas l'amour tous les soirs. C'était évidemment une caricature du personnage Dean Martin ; le réalisateur en était Billy Wilder et le film s'intitulait Embrasse-moi, idiot. Cette satire assez cruelle a ceci de piquant que Dean Martin y a probablement fourni sa meilleure interprétation. Peu après, Phil Karlson a essayé de recourir à la même recette pour lancer sa série les Silencieux, dans laquelle le fameux agent secret Matt Helm parodiait beaucoup moins James Bond que... Dean Martin, à la fois interprète et modèle. Il faut croire qu'il y a dans l'image de cet acteur quelque chose que le public admire, envie et trouve drôle. On peut du reste se demander dans quelle mesure cette image est proche de la véritable personnalité de Dean Martin hors des studios : il est fort douteux qu'un alcoolique paresseux ait pu tenir en main une carrière aussi réussie, aussi bien organisée et aussi durable, tant dans le domaine comique (spécialement avec Jerry Lewis) que dans le domaine dramatique (Comme un torrent, Rio Bravo). Ce qui frappe surtout chez lui, c'est la conscience professionnelle : derrière la façade du monsieur qui fait semblant de « n'être-pas-un-acteur-mais-seulement-un-jovial-baiseur-poivrot » se dissimule un comédien de premier ordre.

 De son vrai nom Dino Crocetti, il est né le 17 juin 1917 à Steubenville (Ohio). Il a commencé sa carrière comme chanteur dans les boîtes de nuit et sa célèbre collaboration avec Jerry Lewis a débuté en 1946. Ils ont fait ensemble leur premier film (Ma bonne amie Irma) en 1949, et, à partir de 1952, ils étaient parmi les plus grosses vedettes commerciales des Etats-Unis. Ils ont fait dix-huit films ensemble avant de se séparer en 1956, et ils avaient en quelque sorte repris la place d'Abbott et Costello. Les meilleurs films que Lewis et Martin aient faits ensemble sont les derniers qu'ils aient tournés avec Franck Tashlin : Artistes et modèles et Un vrai cinglé de cinéma ; mais dans aucun de ces deux-là le personnage de Martin n'était très développé.
La valeur commerciale de Martin a baissé après sa séparation d'avec Lewis, mais il a fait une rentrée superbe trois ans plus tard dans le Bal des maudits (en soldat désinvolte), dans Comme un torrent (en joueur provincial) et dans Rio Bravo (en tireur ivrogne réhabilité par John Wayne). Après ce dernier rôle, l'un des meilleurs qu'il ait jamais tenus, il a encore été excellent dans Un numéro du tonnerre avec Judy Holliday.

S'étant ensuite joint au petit « clan » de Frank Sinatra dans sa vie privée, il a été son partenaire dans des films amusants et sans prétention comme l'Inconnu de Las Vegas; puis il est redevenu l'un des dix acteurs les plus cotés de Hollywood avec la série de Matt Helm . Depuis lors, Dean Martin a encore participé à plusieurs films à succès, dont Airport (où il incame une fois de plus un don Juan) et plusieurs bons westerns.

Jusqu'à son décès le 25/12/1995 Ses dernières années auront été marquées par la tristesse  et le désaroi après le décès de son fils  dans un accident d'avion en 1987.
