overview

Dean Martin (born June 7, 1917 as Dino Crocetti , † December 25, 1995 ) was a singer , actor and entertainer of Italian descent. He began his career in 1939 as a singer in night clubs. He became world famous after the end of World War II through a ten-year collaboration with comedian Jerry Lewis, who was nine years his junior . Martin & Lewis was primarily a live act that the two entertainers performed on stages in nightclubs across the country. From 1949 they transferred their format, which was a combination of singing and comedy, to the medium of feature film. By 1956, Hal Wallis produced 16 full-length films for Paramount Studios , which embedded the familiar roles between Martin and Lewis in changing frameworks from the military, the navy, show business, the circus world or the Wild West . The films were extremely successful commercially. They often achieved better box office results than high-quality feature films by Alfred Hitchcock and others. After separating from Jerry Lewis in the summer of 1956, Martin continued his film career alone. In order to get into business as a solo artist, he initially accepted offers that were paid significantly less than in the Martin & Lewis era. In the late 1950s, Martin made some high-quality films such as Rio Bravo or The Young Lions , in which, according to critics, he showed considerable acting talent. His last similarly demanding film was Dolls Under the Roof (1963). After the cast of one of the main roles with Martin was criticized in the press as a "bad joke", Martin withdrew completely from serious films and instead chose roles that promised "as much money as possible with the least possible effort". According to this pattern, Martin made several films a year in the 1960s - musicals, westerns and comedies - which were top-class with stars such as John Wayne , Robert Mitchum , Rock Hudson , Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster , with the exception of Billy Wilder's more cynical Satire Kiss Me, Fool but were regularly done quickly and cheaply and panned by criticism. Martin had his last role in 1983 in the comedy On the Highway all hell breaks loose again .
