"You're Never Too Young," "Artists and Models," "Living it Up," "Pardners," and "Hollywood or Bust" make up this second volume of films from the legendary comedy team of Martin and Lewis. Blending songs from both Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis with the slapstick humor of Lewis and the straight man roles of Martin were the trademark of this very successful team. Before they started making films, this duo was the most successful nightclub act of the time.
With costars like Shirley MacLaine, Anita Ekberg, Eva Gabor, Janet Leigh, Raymond Burr, Dorothy Malone and more, the movies are the quintessential comedy of the starring duo.
A great companion to this DVD collection is the book by Jerry Lewis ("Dean and Me") in which he describes the beginning, middle, and end of the team's incredible success. In the book he talks about making the films, and the high profile breakup of the duo. "Hollywood or Bust" was their last film together and Lewis mentions he cannot watch that movie as it has too many bad memories associated with it. Being their final film, and also the feuding that was going on between them, the movie is not one of their best, however it is an essential part of the team's history.
This collection is a great addition for anyone who remembers the success of Martin and Lewis or those who just want to see a part of Hollywood history.
