Alles um Anita (1956)
59KAlles um Anita: Directed by Frank Tashlin. With Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Pat Crowley, Maxie Rosenbloom. A singer who can’t pay his bookie joins a nerdy, star-struck movie fan and his Great Dane in a cross-country convertible ride to Hollywood.
“Dean Martin plays Steve Wiley, a gambler with bad debts and Jerry Lewis is Malcolm Smith, a huge movie lover who wants to go to Hollywood to meet Anita Ekberg.And then there is a car raffle where Steve wins a car with a fake ticket and Malcolm wins it with a real one.So theyu0026#39;re both off to Hollywood with Malcolmu0026#39;s dog Great Dane and Terry Roberts (Pat Crowley), a girl they meet along the way.A very pretty lady, if I may add.By the way, Dean Martinu0026#39;s daughters Claudia, Deana and Gail can be seen in the movie.Frank Tashlinu0026#39;s Hollywood or Bust (1956) is a good and funny comedy which offers you some good laughs.One good and funny scene is where Jerry sings the song of the dog food commercial and then thereu0026#39;s of course the one where the dog goes for a ride with the car.A dog behind the wheel is always funny.This was the last movie Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis did together.There were personal conflicts that ended the relationship.They were such a hilarious duo and they did lots of great films together.But as you know,nothing lasts forever.Luckily they didnu0026#39;t stay as enemies forever.In 1976 Frank Sinatra reunited them on stage and they stayed as friends till Deanu0026#39;s death in 1995.While making this film there was lots of anger between them but you can hardly see it.This isnu0026#39;t all time best of Martin and Lewis but itu0026#39;s very enjoyable anyway.Jerry Lewis has said he hasnu0026#39;t seen Hollywood or Bust because itu0026#39;s much too painful for him to watch.Good movie, bad memories.”
