Evil Dean Martin: Nobody loves anybody ever!
Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in ol’ NYC
the saddest and gayest movie scene of 1953
Dean Martin.
Logging into Twitter feels like this 🥲
because my friends bought me the sheet music to The Old Calliope from Sailor Beware, at a library sale…….here’s a gifset…
The quote is from the radio show, which is here on The Internet Archive.
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in Artists and Models (1955).
This comparison was almost an obligation 😍🙂
—The Silencers, 1966.
Yesterday I saw the movie "Artists and Models" and I can't believe that there is a movie about such an interesting topic as the controversy over how dangerous comics were in the USA in the 1950s with Martin and Lewis.
The worst thing is not that comics made children violent, as shown in the movie, but that, according to a "psychiatrist", Batman comics made children GAY because Batman and Robin.
As for the film, if the Hays Code hadn't existed, we would have had a romantic comedy about two gay artists surviving in New York. They literally talk about "divorce" and they are roommates. 🥲
It also struck me that both the cartoonist and the star comic character were women. The comic world is a very masculinized place, and you can see it by going around the Marvel fandom every time a movie comes out, and women who dedicate themselves to this medium are still very invisible. Female characters in comics do exist, but it is always the male characters that capture the attention of the majority of the public.

Innuendo — Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (1953)
I'm starting to read the book "Dean & Me" and I've underlined all the parts where Jerry flirts with Dean.
Thank goodness it's electronic, otherwise I'd be left without a highlighter.
I'm not kidding, this is all chapter one!
Wake up babe, new more quotes from Jerry praising Dean just dropped!!
Chapters two and three!!
There's more?! It seems so!
