A CENTURY AGO TODAY, HE WAS BORN IN STEUBENVILLE, DINO PAUL CROCETTI, AKA DEAN MARTIN, UNFORGETTABLE ACTOR AND SINGER.

Son of parents of Italian origin, he chose to make it more american friendly its name to succeed. The family name, Martin, is in fact the anglofonizzata version of the name of the Italian Nino Martini content. It was with that name who managed to establish itself as a singer in clubs in New York, after the boxer and the gas station. His career can be divided into two periods, now let's see.

COUPLED WITH JERRY LEWIS

The meeting with Jerry Lewis was decisive for Dean Martin . The two met the first time at the Glass Hat Club in New York, where both were performing separated. Their first solo exhibition took place July 25, 1946 at Club 500 in Atlantic City was the start of a successful comedy duo that lasted a decade.

THE DEAN MARTIN SOLO

Despite initial skepticism - many believed that alone is not worth anything - Dean Martin achieved great successes even without Lewis . In addition to music (in 1954, was published the famous That's Amore , a tribute to the city of Naples), the cinema was able in fact to assert itself both in comedy and in drama.

DINO PAUL CROCETTI, IN ARTE DEAN MARTIN

Di Camera Look - 7 giugno 2017

In coppia con Jerry Lewis o da solo: Dean Martin ha lasciato il segno nella musica e nel cinema.

UN SECOLO FA OGGI NASCEVA A STEUBENVILLE, DINO PAUL CROCETTI, IN ARTE DEAN MARTIN, INDIMENTICABILE ATTORE E CANTANTE.

Figlio di genitori di origine italiana, scelse di rendere più american friendly il proprio nome per affermarsi. Il cognome, Martin, è infatti la versione anglofonizzata del cognome del tenore italiano Nino Martini. Fu con quel nome che riuscì ad imporsi come cantante nei locali di New York, dopo aver fatto il pugile e il benzinaio. La sua carriera si può suddividere in due periodi, che ora andiamo a vedere.

IN COPPIA CON JERRY LEWIS

L’incontro con Jerry Lewis fu decisivo per Dean Martin. I due si conobbero la prima volta al Glass Hat Club di New York, dove entrambi si esibivano, separati. La loro prima esibizione in coppia avvenne il 25 luglio 1946 al Club 500 di Atlantic City: fu l’inizio di un duo comico di successo, che durò una decina d’anni. Sul palco realizzavano spettacoli ricchi di canzoni e di sketch, alcuni anche improvvisati sul momento. Visto l’apprezzamento del pubblico, insieme girarono l’America, arrivando ad esibirsi al Copacabana di New York. Dopo aver debuttato anche in tv (nel programma Toast of the Town della CBS-TV) e in radio (nel The Martin and Lewis Show), nel 1948 la loro agente negoziò per loro un grande contratto con la Paramount. Insieme, sfondarono anche al cinema: realizzarono sedici film, da La Mia Amica Irma (1949) fino a Hollywood o Morte! (1956). Il sodalizio, per via di crescenti contrasti personali, si interruppe esattamente (o quasi) dieci anni dopo il loro debutto, il 24 luglio del 1956.

IL DEAN MARTIN SOLISTA

Nonostante lo scetticismo iniziale – molti credevano che da solo non valesse nulla – Dean Martin ottenne grandi successi anche senza Lewis. Oltre alla musica (nel 1954, fu pubblicata la celeberrima That’s Amore, un omaggio alla città di Napoli), al cinema riuscì infatti ad affermarsi sia nella commedia che nel genere drammatico. Lo ricordiamo ne I Giovani Leoni (1958, con Marlon Brando e Montgomery Clift) e nel western Un Dollaro d’Onore (1959, al fianco di John Wayne). Negli anni Sessanta entrò a far parte del Rat Pack, un gruppo di attori e cantanti capitanato dall’amico Frank Sinatra. Con il Rat Pack, interpretò diversi film, tra cui Colpo grosso, Tre Contro Tutti, I 4 di Chicago. Dopo aver girato una serie di quattro film nella parte dell’agente segreto Matt Helm, per Dean Martin iniziò il declino artistico, legato anche alle sue condizioni di salute. Il suo ultimo film su Congiure Parallele, del 1987, un anno prima di ritirarsi definitivamente dalle scene.
