Hey pallies, likes ilovedinomartin always always loves puttin' the accent on 'nother of today's young adults who loves our Dino, and through the magic of google blog search we happened about a young lady tagged Kristin who hangs her hat at the blog "Sew TECHNICOLOR."

The theme of Miss Kirstin's post is "Martin and Lewis." which she and her mom are enjoyin' watchin' every Saturday night via a little screen channel tagged RETRO TV that is showin' the duo's antics from the "Colgate Comedy Hour" they hosted.   It is simply simply delightful to hear someone of Miss Kristin's youth proclaimin' boldly to her readership that "I love Martin and Lewis."

In addition to her patter 'bout the shows, Miss Kristin also has included a trio of great clips from the Colgates for our Dino and the Jer's viewin' pleasure.  And, in addition I noticed elsewhere on her blog that she has also recently watched our most beloved Dino and Miss Judy Holliday in that absolutely classic big screen musicale, "Bells Are Ringing."   Likes I wouldn't be surprised to find out soon that she has turned into a full blown Dino-devotee!

ilovedinomartin salutes Miss Kristin for sharin' her delight in viewin' the Martin and Lewis Colgate Comedy Hours with her mother....helpin' others to grow in knowin', lovin', and honorin' our Dino!  To checks this out in it's original format, simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram.   Dino-reportin', DMP




Martin and Lewis.

Every Saturday night, me and Mom watch The Colgate Comedy Hour. (It comes on this channel calledRetro TV that we pick up with our small antenna.) So far they've only played the shows that were hosted by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, which is fine with me. But I would like to see some of the others that featured Bob Hope.

I love Martin and Lewis. They just bounce off of each other perfectly...the only comedy team I can think of that is this awesome together is Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

These guys seriously put everything they have into every performance. By the end of the show, they're out of breath and wiping sweat. My dad doesn't usually watch it with us, but when he does, he even mentions that. That's one of the things I love about classic TV and films...the stars were actually talented. Unlike all of the goobers who have their own shows now. :)

We know all of Jerry Lewis' bits by now. Me and Mom often say, "I like it! I like it!" in obnoxious voices. We recognize bits as they're coming, like the whiny "Don't (insert verb like kiss, lick, fly, etc.) it!" one. Or when Dean asks Jerry if he's ever done something, and Jerry runs all around the question. Then Dean says, "Have you?", and Jerry hangs his head and says, "Well...no."

Some episodes are funnier than others. (And we like the comedy best. We groan when Dean starts singing another slow ballad or when they have some boring dancers on the show.) There have been a couple of episodes where I laughed through the whole hour. I mean really laughed, with tears rolling down my face and when my guts hurt afterwards. :)

Here are a few of my favorite clips that we've seen so far.

The shaving scene in this clip is hilarious. I love it when they crack up at each other- it looks like they're having so much fun.


Here, Jerry was spoofing Marlon Brando and some TV show called "The Continental." I've never even seen a Marlon Brando film or the show, but oh my goodness, this made me laugh. (I just really love it when Jerry or Dean can't help but break character and laugh.) "You been going to the gym, ain't ya?"

My favorite shows are the ones where they end with Dean and Jerry in front of the band. Because then you know they're going to dance and goof off. I love this clip because the Four Step Brothers are amazing, but mostly I love it because Jerry Lewis dancing is one of the best things ever. :)


Until next time,

A COMEDIAN TO ALL THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW

Posted on 17/06/2013

Actor forever, but comedian first. His films with Jerry Lewis made a difference in the magical world of filmmaking. But, did much more. His own show for American television, a lot of films starring in more serious productions, performances as a singer, his performances as a comedian in theaters, among others.They called artistically Dean Martin and it was a big cinema. The glorious matinees and continued in local cinemas had him as a top attraction. And in the premiere productions with John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, George Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby, Anita Ekberg, Shirley MacLaine, Cliff Robertson, filled the long room in each function. The screen and the music immortalized.

SINGER IN NIGHT CLUBS
page

Dino Paul Crocetti is the real name of Dean Martin, born June 7, 1917 in Steubenville, Ohio, United pageStates.He went through many occupations before becoming celluloid figure and tv: It was labor, taxi driver, boxer and even professional football player. He began his career as a singer in night clubs and in 1946, in Atlantic City, he met Jerry Lewis, who until 1956 formed professional couple, immediately reaching one of the biggest events of the story in the film industry.The duo, with Dean providing seductive, warm voice, with its romantic, obtained an extraordinary public success, both in their live performances, as in cinema and TV stations. When 10 years and 16 films later Dean and Jerry are separated, few believed that Martin could face a solo career, but flourished and appeared in the sixties in several feature-length films with Sinatra and his "clan", showing his qualities starring filmmakers led by the likes of Vincente Minnelli - "Some Came Running", 1958 - Howard Hawks - "Rio Bravo", 1959 - and Billy Wilder - "Kissing a Fool", 1964. Despite his initial interest in obtaining money by conventional routes, soon began to earn a living through occupations rather less orthodox. Encouraged by some friends, he decided to cultivate boxing, winning several awards at welterweight bouts. The pseudonym used by the future artist, Kid Crochet, gives an idea of what his specialty was pugilistic. By that time, the 1929 crisis jerked the foundations of the U.S. economy and quashed the chances of Martin in the sports world. The smuggling of liquor then seemed lucrative enough activity, and devoted himself to it for a certain period. Tweaking the mischief so characteristic of the stages of crisis, the young also devoted to card games and betting. I used to frequent the poker games and related practices in the environment of carnivals, whose tents were often covert real casinos. In 1934, in a casual way, Martin left one of those games to get on stage and sing a ballad. To the surprise of all present, the boy showed a splendid vocal qualities. Shortly after already captivated audiences around Ohio as a singer in front of the Ernie McKay Band, swing orchestra formed in the image of bands like Benny Goodman. In 1940 the singer Dino Paul Crocetti adopted the stage name of Dean Martin, and October 2, 1941 he married his girlfriend, Elizabeth Anne McDonald, with whom he would have four children born between 1942 and 1948: Stephen, Claudia, Barbara and Deana. In this family happiness came to add that professional good fortune and not leave until the end of his days. In September 1943 he signed an exclusive contract with the company MCA, brightening up the nights of Riobamba Room, a sophisticated New York ballroom where she had also had great success Frank Sinatra. A year later began airing on radio program "Songs by Dean Martin", which served to popularize definitely the voice and image of the singer.

PARAMOUNT THE HIRED
In 1949, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis already had some fame so attracted the attention of Paramount hired. From 1951, the couple also began working comedians on television. Both are regular guest star in the variety show "The Colgate Comedy Hour" issued between 1950 and 1955 on NBC. Since the fifties, Dean Martin was part of a group of players known as the "Rat Pack" with Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis, Jr.. All participated in the movie "Gang of eleven" - "Ocean's Eleven" - 1960. Of the members of the so-called group were said to have close contacts with the world of the Mafia, in fact, were seen with known members of organized crime in Las Vegas, a city that felt like a fish in water. "Hollywood or Bust", 1956 was the last film in which Martin and Lewis participated together.

LIGHTING SHOW ON NBC
In 1965, Dean Martin is hired by NBC and becomes the host of his own television show was called The Dean Martin Show. This variety show began airing on September 16, 1965. In 1973, after eight seasons on the grid, The Dean Martin Show was losing audience, so chain managers decided to give a new star and considered introducing weight to give more strength to the project, and attract viewers . But did not work and the space was canceled. The NBC, instead of giving the subject terminated, would continue to exploit the popularity of its star, so returned to the idea of ​​interviewing major figures and signed with Dean Martin rolled to a series of specials. The new program was titled as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast.

A HIT HARD
The March 21, 1987, Dean's son, Dino, died in a plane crash on the San Gorgonio Mountains, California.The loss was irreparable, being a blow to the whole family. Dean went into a deep depression from which he would never recover. Dean Martin passed away at 78 years of age, December 25, 1995, at his mansion located in Beverly Hills, California, as a result of advanced lung cancer. He was charismatic and talented rogue.

UN COMEDIANTE ANTE TODO EL SHOW DE DEAN MARTINPublicado en 17.06.2013

Actor desde siempre, pero comediante ante todo. Sus películas con Jerry Lewis marcaron una diferencia en el mágico mundo de la cinematografía. Pero, hizo mucho más. Su propio show para la televisión norteamericana, un montón de filmes como protagonista en producciones más serias, actuaciones como cantante, sus presentaciones como humorista en teatros, entre otras. Lo llamaron artísticamente Dean Martin y fue un grande del séptimo arte. Las gloriosas matinés y los continuados de los cines de barrio lo tuvieron como máxima atracción. Y en los estrenos las producciones junto a John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, George Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby, Anita Ekberg, Shirley MacLaine, Cliff Robertson; llenaban las salas durante largo tiempo en cada función. La pantalla y la música lo inmortalizaron.

CANTANTE ENNIGHT CLUBS

Dino Paul Crocetti es el verdadero nombre de Dean Martin, nacido el 7 de junio de 1917 en Steubenville, Ohio, Estados Unidos. Pasó por muchas ocupaciones antes de convertirse en figura del celuloide y la tv: Fue obrero, taxista, pugilista y hasta jugador profesional de fútbol americano. Inició su carrera artística como cantante en night clubs y en 1946, en Atlantic City, conoció a Jerry Lewis, con quien formaría pareja profesional hasta 1956, alcanzando de inmediato uno de los mayores sucesos de la historia en la industria fílmica. El dúo, con Dean aportando su voz seductora y cálida, junto a su aire romántico, obtuvieron un extraordinario éxito de público, tanto en sus actuaciones en directo, como en la tevé y el cinema. Cuando 10 años y 16 cintas más tarde Dean y Jerry se separan, pocos creyeron que Martin pudiera encarar una carrera en solitario, pero prosperó e intervino en la década del sesenta en varios largo-metrajes con Sinatra y su “clan”, demostrando sus cualidades como protagonista bajo la dirección de cineastas de la talla de Vincente Minnelli –“Como un torrente”, 1958- Howard Hawks -“Río Bravo”, 1959- y Billy Wilder -“Bésame, tonto”, 1964. Pese a su inicial interés por obtener dinero por vías convencionales, muy pronto empezó a ganarse la vida mediante ocupaciones bastante menos ortodoxas. Animado por algunos compañeros, se decidió a cultivar el boxeo, ganando algunos premios en combates del peso welter. El seudónimo empleado por el futuro artista, Kid Crochet, da una idea de cuál era su especialidad pugilística. Por ese tiempo, la crisis de 1929 sacudió con fuerza los cimientos de la economía norteamericana y anuló las posibilidades de Martin en el mundo del deporte. El contrabando de licor le pareció entonces una actividad lo suficientemente lucrativa, y se dedicó a ella por un cierto período. Afinando esa picardía tan propia de las etapas de crisis, el joven también se dedicó a los juegos de naipes y a las apuestas. Solía frecuentar las partidas de póquer y otras prácticas afines en el entorno de las ferias ambulantes, cuyas carpas eran muchas veces verdaderos casinos encubiertos. En 1934, de un modo casual, Martin abandonó una de esas partidas para subirse al escenario y entonar una balada. Para sorpresa de todos los concurrentes, el joven demostró unas espléndidas cualidades vocales. Poco después ya cautivaba al público de todo Ohio como cantante al frente de la Ernie McKay Band, una orquesta de swing formada a imagen de bandas como la de Benny Goodman. En 1940 el cantante Dino Paul Crocetti adoptaba el nombre artístico de Dean Martin, y el 2 de octubre de 1941 contraía matrimonio con su novia, Elizabeth Anne McDonald, con la que tendría cuatro hijos nacidos entre 1942 y 1948: Stephen, Claudia, Barbara y Deana. A esta felicidad familiar se vino a sumar esa buena fortuna profesional que ya no lo abandonó hasta el final de sus días. En septiembre de 1943 firmó un contrato exclusivo con la compañía MCA, amenizando las noches del Riobamba Room, una sofisticada sala de baile neoyorquina donde también había obtenido un gran éxito Frank Sinatra. Un año después comenzaba a emitirse el programa radiofónico “Songs by Dean Martín”, que sirvió para popularizar definitivamente la voz e imagen del cantante.

PARAMOUNTLOS CONTRATAE

n 1949, Dean Martin y Jerry Lewis ya tenían cierta fama por lo que atrajeron la atención de la Paramount que los contrató. A partir de 1951, la pareja de cómicos empieza a trabajar también en televisión. Ambos son estrellas invitadas habituales en el programa de variedades “The Colgate Comedy Hour” emitido entre 1950 y 1955 por la NBC. Desde la década del cincuenta, Dean Martin formó parte de un grupo de actores conocido como el “rat pack”, con Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford o Sammy Davis, Jr.. Todos participaron en la película “Cuadrilla de los once” –“Ocean’s eleven”- 1960. De los miembros del llamado grupo se decía que tenían estrechos contactos con el mundo de la mafia, de hecho, se dejaban ver con conocidos miembros del crimen organizado en Las Vegas, ciudad en la que se sentían como pez en el agua. “Loco por Anita”, 1956 fue la última película en la que Martin y Lewis participaron juntos.

SHOW DE LUMINARIASEN NBC

En 1965, Dean Martin es contratado por la NBC y se convierte en el anfitrión de su propio programa de televisión que recibió el nombre de The Dean Martin Show. Este show de variedades comenzó a emitirse el 16 de septiembre de 1965. En 1973, tras ocho temporadas en la grilla, The Dean Martin Show iba perdiendo audiencia, por lo que los directores de la cadena decidieron darle un nuevo aire y pensaron en introducir estrellas de peso para darle más fuerza al proyecto,  y atraer a los espectadores. Sin embargo tampoco funcionó y el espacio fue cancelado. La NBC, en lugar de dar el tema por terminado, quiso seguir explotando la popularidad de su estrella, por lo que retomó la idea de entrevistar a grandes figuras y firmó con Dean Martin para que rodara una serie de especiales. El nuevo programa fue titulado como The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast

.UN GOLPE DUROE

l 21 de marzo de 1987, el hijo de Dean, Dino, falleció en un accidente aéreo sobre las montañas de San Gorgonio, California. La pérdida fue irreparable, siendo un duro golpe para toda la familia. Dean entró en una profunda depresión de la que nunca llegaría a recuperarse. Dean Martin dejó de existir a los 78 años de edad, el 25 de diciembre de 1995, en su mansión ubicada en Beverly Hills, California, como consecuencia de un avanzado cáncer de pulmón. Fue carismático, pícaro y talentoso.

Dean Martin

Dean Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American singer, film actor, television star and comedian.
One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th Century, Martin was nicknamed the "King of Cool"[1][2] due to his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assuredness. A member of the "Rat Pack," Martin was a major star in four areas of show business: concert stage/night clubs, recordings, motion pictures, and television. He was the host of the successful television variety program The Dean Martin Show (1965-1974), and subsequently The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts (1974-1985)
Martin's relaxed, warbling crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles including his signature songs "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", "Volare" and "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?".
Early life
Martin was born in Steubenville, Ohio, to an Italian father, Gaetano and an Italian-American mother, Angela Crocetti (née Barra). His father was from Montesilvano, Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy, and his mother was of Neapolitan and Sicilian ancestry. Martin had an older brother named Bill. Martin spoke only Italian until he started school. He attended Grant Elementary School in Steubenville, and took up the drums as a hobby as a teenager. He was the target of much ridicule for his broken English and ultimately dropped out of Steubenville High School in the 10th grade because he thought that he was smarter than his teachers.[3] He delivered bootleg liquor, served as a speakeasy croupier, was a blackjack dealer, worked in a steel mill and boxed as a welterweight. He grew up a neighbor to Jimmy the Greek.
At the age of 15, he was a boxer who billed himself as "Kid Crochet". His prizefighting years earned him a broken nose (later straightened), a scarred lip, and many sets of broken knuckles, bruised body (a result of not being able to afford the tape used to wrap boxers' hands). Of his twelve bouts, he would later say "I won all but eleven."[4] For a time, he roomed with Sonny King, who, like Martin, was just starting in show business and had little money. It is said that Martin and King held bare-knuckle matches in their apartment, fighting until one of them was knocked out; people paid to watch. Martin knocked out King in the first round of an amateur boxing match.
Eventually, Martin gave up boxing. He worked as a roulette stickman and croupier in an illegal casino behind a tobacco shop where he had started as a stock boy. At the same time, he sang with local bands, calling himself "Dino Martini" (after the famous Metropolitan Opera tenor, Nino Martini). He got his first break working for the Ernie McKay Orchestra. He sang in a crooning style influenced by Harry Mills (of the Mills Brothers), among others. In the early 1940s, he started singing for bandleader Sammy Watkins, who suggested that he change his name to Dean Martin.
In October 1941, Martin married Elizabeth Anne McDonald. During their marriage (ended by divorce in 1949), they had four children. Martin worked for various bands throughout the early 1940s, mostly on looks and personality until he developed his own singing style. Martin famously flopped at the Riobamba, a high class nightclub in New York,[6] when he followed Frank Sinatra in 1943, but it was the setting for their meeting.
Martin was drafted into the United States Army in 1944 during World War II, serving a year stationed in Akron, Ohio. He was then reclassified as 4-F and was discharged (possibly because of a double hernia; Jerry Lewis referred to the surgery that Martin needed for this in his autobiography).
By 1946, Martin was doing relatively well, but was still little more than an East Coast nightclub singer with a common style, similar to that of Bing Crosby. He drew audiences to the clubs where he played, but he inspired none of the fanatical popularity enjoyed by Sinatra.

I got to caddy, which is where I met Dean Martin


My Photo

Hey pallies, likes as promised dudes, here is 'nother Dino-epistle scribed by Mr. Cliff Biggers from his personal blog,  "not much of nothin' - maintaining a forty-five year tradition of commentary on things that interest me....."  Likes after findin' his most recent Dino-gram 'bout his delight in discoverin' our main man's marvelously melodious al-b-um, Dream with Dean, likes ilovedinomartin simply simply had to inquire into Biggers' past posts to see if we coulda uncover more of passion for our Dino and likes perhaps it's source.

Well dudes, ilovedinomartin did indeed find the roots of Biggers personal devotion to our Dino.  Below, from a May 13, 2007 blog post, "Saints and Poets, Maybe," where Cliff shares "Ten things I wish I had one more opportunity to share with Mom....." we find tucked in thin' numero 6, "Dean Martin Music."  And likes many many pallies, Mr. Biggers acquired his Dino-appreciato from a close family member....in his case, his mother.

And, likes not only does Cliff share in general 'bout his mother's love of our Dino, he also shares wonderously wonderful words of the day when he has the amazin'ly awesome op to be in the immediate presence of our most beloved Dino...servin' as caddy as our King of Cool played him some golf in Biggers hometown of Rome, GA.  Likes you will also discover that Cliff's parents got to break bread with our Dino that very same day.

Now dudes, likes how great is it to hear 'nother report of an regular guy who for a brief time in space was privileged to met our amazin' Dino?!?!?!  'gain, ilovedinomartin salutes Mr. Cliff Biggers and thanks him for his Dino-postin's...encouragin' Dino-holics likes all of us.  To checks this out in it's orginal format, simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-epistle.  Dino-awe struck, DMP




  Ten things I wish I had one more opportunity to share with Mom...


(6) Dean Martin music. Mom loved to listen to Dean Martin; I can hear her melodious voice humming and sometimes singing along to the records that we owned. She joked occasionally about being named after him--although we knew she wasn't, since she was born long before Dean Martin was a celebrity. Even so, I really think the fact that her name was Dean led her to feel a sort of affinity with him that made him a favorite of hers. We all got to meet him once, when Dean Martin, Andy Williams, and other celebrities came to Rome for a celebrity golf tournament. I got to caddy, which is where I met Dean Martin; Mom and Dad met him at a dinner that evening... a dinner I didn't get to attend, since it was for grown-ups only. I envied her, not because I really was dying to share a meal with Dean Martin, but because I thought it must be something really wonderful to meet a celebrity whose work you enjoyed so much. I remembered her joy years later, when I spent almost an hour talking to Jack Kirby; I knew then what it must have been like for Mom to spend an evening in casual conversation with her favorite singer.

If You Could Only Own One Dean Martin Album...

...My recommendation would be Dream with Dean, a little known and rarely remembered 1964 Dean Martin release on Reprise Records. Unlike most of Dino's better known albums, there is no orchestral bombast, no large chorus, no heavy production; instead, this is Dean Martin singing, accompanied by the subdued accompaniment of guitarist Barney Kessel, pianist Ken Lane, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Irv Cottler.

 I ran across this album quite by accident; until I heard it, I really didn't know there was another Dean Martin album I needed other than his Capitol and Reprise Greatest Hits packages. This is a soulful, subdued, and at times melancholy Dean Martin album, which is quite a change for the crooner best known for more upbeat numbers. He touches on a few standards, such as "Blue Moon" and "Smile," but the most memorable cut on this album is "Everybody Loves Somebody." No, it's not the hit version that everyone remembers; this is a very personal, almost intimate take of the song, and it became my "go-to" version as soon as I heard it.

Dean Martin may be an acquired taste, but I consider him one of the best male vocalists in mainstream pop music. If you've ever liked his voice, you're going to be glad you tried Dream With Dean.

Dean Martin was a seasoned cigarette smoker

Hey pallies, likes dudes, likes we all knows that one of our most beloved Dino most recognized trademarks was his ever present cigarette.  Well today's Dino-devotion from the cleverly tagged smokin' blog, "Zigaretz" likes puts the accent on our Dino's smokin' habit.  And, likes we thanks the pallies at google Dino-'lerts for puttin' us on to this Dino-reflection.

Dean Martin, though, is my favorite.

Hey pallies, likes today's Dino-devotion comes from 'nother new-to-ilovedinomartin blog and likes what a crazy-cool-crazy tag it has, "SURROUNDED BY IMBECILES."  Scribed by a professour of history, today's sharin' was inspired by his readin' 'bout the Rat Pack and his interest in "their individual careers."

ilovedinomartin finds it likes the coolest that this dude's fav Rat Packer is none other then our most beloved Dino.  What follows is the professour's pontifications on particular Dino-flicks of the western affiliation that he has had the pleasure of viewin'.  Usin' a mix of prose and pix this blogger's reflections are brief and to the point and very very Dino-honorin'.

We salute this wise professour and his wonderful words of Dino-edification.  To checks it out in it's orginal format, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-report.  Dino-always, ever, and only, DMP

The Westerns of Dean Martin

11JUN
I have been reading about the Rat Pack and the exploits of its members – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. Together, they were legendary. However, I have been thinking about their individual careers.
Obviously, Frank Sinatra is one of the most famous performers of all time.
Sammy Davis, Jr. also had a great career.
Peter Lawford is probably best known as a Kennedy in-law.
I’m not sure what else Joey Bishop did.
Dean Martin, though, is my favorite. He sang great songs and made great movies. Some of the best movies were Westerns. For a cool crooner, Martin was pretty handy on a horse and with a gun.
In my mind, his best Western was Rio Bravo, starring John Wayne, Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan. Here’s a trivia question. How many people in Rio Bravo had records that reached Number 1? The movie is about a sheriff who has arrested the brother of a wealthy rancher. He and his deputies have to fight to keep him in jail and to stay alive. Martin plays Dude, a deputy who doubles as the town drunk.Dude
Another great thing, Rio Bravo was filmed at Old Tucson Studios, one of my favorite places to visit.
5 Card Stud is another good one. Martin plays Van Morgan, a gambler who has to solve a series of murders before he becomes the next victim.5 Card Stud
Everyone who is killed was playing in the same card game. It also stars Robert Mitchum and Inger Stevens but suffers from what I call the “law of diminishing suspects”. There are so few suspects that solving the mystery is too easy.
Bandolero! pairs Martin with James Stewart as brothers who have taken different paths but find themselves in trouble together.Bandolero
Along the way, they take Raquel Welch hostage.
My least favorite Dean Martin Western is The Sons of Katie Elder. It stars John Wayne and has the makings of a great story, but the “sons” are mismatched. The youngest “son” is way too young to play the part. I hate to say that a Western starring John Wayne and Dean Martin is bad, so I will say that it’s not very good.
Martin is the gambling brother, Tom Elder, and he follows older brother John in trying to figure out who killed their father. One of the best scenes has Martin playing a “fake eye” trick in a bar.The Sons of Katie Elder
Dean Martin made other Westerns, but these are the ones I have seen. Honestly, I don’t think I could make it through the comedy ones with Frank Sinatra.
