A show business autobiography about the greatest comedy team ever; Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis

We present some excerpts from Dean and Me a Love Story, by Jerry Lewis. Which recalls his days working with Dean Martin, long before The Rat Pack, and even Elvis, when mobs of people would  fill the streets around the theaters they were appearing in.

Starting in the summer of 1946 Martin and Lewis became the most popular comedy team of all time. Performing before the largest sell out crowds anyone had ever seen, in every major city.  Also appearing on early television broadcasts and on radio. By 1950, they arrived in Hollywood and would make 16 movies before going their separate ways in 1956. Both going on to such fabulous careers of their own, that their pardnership is practically unknown to young audiences.
