Rough Realities Beneath the Image of Mr. Smooth
Based on the information in the ten user reviews of this biography to date, I may be the oldest person in the room as I grew up with Martin and Lewis on television during the 1950’s and 60’s. For what it’s worth, my father, who owned a bar featuring live entertainment in downtown Newark, New Jersey, was a personal acquaintance of Jerry Lewis, but I do not know the extent or depth of this relationship, and he is no longer here to explain it.I am much more of a fan of Dean Martin as a superb, silken singer who developed a unique, easygoing style than as a comedian or an actor, but his performances in “The Young Lions”, “Some Came Running”, “Rio Bravo”, and “Ada” are very noteworthy. The airing of this biography together with these films by TCM would have been a nice touch, but you can stream them at your convenience whenever they are available on TCM .
Overall, this was a very good documentary on the life of Dean Martin and his meteoric rise to fame from very modest beginnings in Steubenville, Ohio. It allowed me a rare opportunity to witness a sometimes painfully honest account of a man who made a huge impact on me during my most impressionable years. I very much appreciated the views of those who knew him best, especially his devoted daughter, Deana. I was very moved by her love for her father as well as her candor in explaining the full story, or at least as much of it as she was willing to reveal.
What totally wrecked the film for me were the appearances of individuals who apparently did not know Martin at all and who seem to be unfamiliar with the totality of his work as a performing artist. For me, the appearance of Alec Baldwin, who provided absolutely no insight or contribution whatsoever, was downright disturbing. Jon Hamm seemed to be reading from notes, and I received no benefit at all from RZA’s segments. I felt as though these individuals were thrown into the production only for purposes of attracting a wider audience. They not only added zero value to the film but substantially reduced its overall effectiveness. Without their annoying presence, I would have rated this very worthy effort more highly.
Decent, but not amazing
This is a surface level, cliff notes version of his life where you get the standard talking heads and archival footage. You’re not really going to learn anything deep about him, nor are you going to get a stronger appreciation for him if you don’t already have one, but it’s a well made movie and worth seeing for fans.
