Publisher's Synopsis
Before the Rat Pack, the hit songs and the stellar movie career, Dean Martin spent ten years partnering Jerry Lewis in a successful double act. In this candid memoir, Lewis remembers his relationship with Dean: from their early performances in Mob-owned nightclubs to the giddy days of Hollywood super-stardom. But their high-rolling lifestyle came to an end. On July 24 1956, Dean and Jerry split and the two men didn't speak to one another for twenty years. Jerry Lewis reveals much about Dean Martin's craftsmanship and enigmatic charm. He evokes the glamour of the era - the casinos, the cocktails, the mobsters, and the women. He recalls the thrill of the youthful duo's sudden, startling success, and the slow sad erosion of the fun that followed.
