• Jerry Lewis The Kid •

Dear Mister Martin ✨

I was gonna do the whole clip with the vows but I got tired so maybe there’ll be a pt2 at some point idk the radio show has so many good moments it’s hard pick which ones to do

Please!! I understood everything up to "under my pillow". What do they say next??

Their radio program was canceled at a certain point, because according to the "official versions" it was not very successful. Um… or was it because they were way too explicit and Jerry had a voice that was TOO feminine??

@arthuluart you are always so good!

Due to my current obsession with Martin & Lewis, my mother has also decided to watch some of their movies and has become almost equally obsessed.

So, today at work, she brought up Martin & Lewis to a 90-something year old woman who, my mother knew, from experience, would talk about politics non-stop if she didn't change the subject, and lucky for her, by bringing up the fact that she's been watching M&L movies, my mother got an hour long story from someone who once sat front row at one of their shows. I've never been so jealous of a 90-something year old. I've never been so jealous of my mother either, like, I want to hear the story!! My mother couldn't even remember all of the details the woman told her because of a language barrier :(

It should have been ME!!

Because 1950 isn't THAT long ago‚ but to be fully cognizant of what you're experiencing you have to be in your 90s now. Yes. At least 90 years old or a little less. If I think it's practically been a century but looking at their films, their photos together and their Colgate shows those two really seem so modern. They remained young forever like Martin & Lewis. This is their greatest magic. They became IMMORTAL in their youth.

I ALWAYS keep my promises 👹☺️

“My plus has never been so non!”– Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (1953)

Yet another comparison between Dean/Jerry and Alex/Henry. And don't tell me it doesn't look similar when Jerry pushes Dean onto the bed. Dean moves almost the same way "Alex" moves.

Jerry influenced them all, including many Italian comedians.

Dean Martin, trying to keep a straight face listening to his partner Jerry Lewis on the June 5, 1955 episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour. Whether feuding or not, they still had fun with each other, the most fun each would ever have and it showed. That affection and love they had for one another never left them.

The Colgate Comedy Hour was their happy place, they could still do whatever they wanted. And despite everything they still had fun together. But they had ended up in a gilded cage and there was a need to break that cage.

I've never watched it. Any good? I'm going to find out.

I like this movie too much. One of my favorites from Jerry. He is perfectly measured here as the straight man (proving that, when he wanted, he could do that too) and yes he and Tony Curtis were really good together. They blended very well. As a child I was literally in love with Curtis, but recently I discovered that as an actor he was one of the best but as a man he was worth very little.
