I think it's not remembered by many anymore and most people never really knew how popular Martin and Lewis really were. This film footage proves it. They were superstars.
Oh man how I'd love to go back in time and be down there on the street, screaming my head off for these two (especially Jerry!) They had to have been absolutely on top of the world at this time, the biggest thing going and adoration everywhere they went. I can't imagine what that must have felt like.
Joshua Carter Directly from Jerry Lewis' personal archive- when we made his 1996 Biography™ for A&E. Also- Jerry's lifelong friend Janet Leigh was like an aunt to me- my grandfather, actor/director Abner Biberman, was Tony Curtis' first drama coach. So Jerry simply handed me the keys to his vault and said, "Just make me look good, kid." We also produced Janet's biography for Lifetime TV that same year.

This had to be the best time of their lives. They were like rock stars, pandemonium!What a unique and very special pair. I’ve always heard that were bigger than Elvis and the Beatles after them
It would be great if more people nowadays appreciated these wonderful entertainers! Personally speaking they helped me thru a tough time and I'll always love them ❤ especially jerry he gave me a totally new outlook on life! Unfortunately people can only see his faults! 💞
Now they go crazy over Justin Bieber. Those two had more talent in their pinkies than Justin does in his whole body. Ugh. Entertainment has gone downhill.
Could you imagine having 100s of people screaming like this to the point where you have to appear in a window??! I’m with Dean, I would be amazed. This is unbelievable today....
After years of seeing this in excerpts, it's wonderful to see the entire footage... Thank you so much! By the way, it's actually on 44th street, not 43rd. I found the window and the scene as it looks today, and they are just above the current Starlite Deli, in the Paramount building.
Totally. They were the first TV stars with the Colgate Comedy Hour shows- that's what really made them so popular. They'd announce their premieres for their movies on the shows- NBC, shot at 30 Rockefeller Center- and thousands of kids would show up in front of the Paramount five blocks away in Times Square and go ape! :)
Once again in these videos, it's Dean who appears more emotional than Jerry who stays in character while Dean just looks amazed. Everyone says Dean was the cool one--well not here! Love it!
Maureen Kolkey Although Dean always tried to appear nonchalant and easygoing, it always seemed to me that inside he felt things very deeply. It’s just that he was brought up in a time when boys were taught not to show their feelings, that it was somehow ‘cissy’ to be sentimental and that they should be tough (‘big boys don’t cry’). But you only have to look at pictures of him playing with his kids (there is one in particular showing him putting bootees on one of his babies, where he is looking at her with such love and tenderness that it’s enough to melt the stoniest of hearts) to see that he really was a soft-hearted guy. Plus there are many stories of his kind heartedness. And when you remember how he had been bullied at school, I think that Dean, like many men of his generation, sometimes felt a deep conflict between what he really felt and how he thought he should act as a ‘real man’, which in his case he usually covered up with his jokey personality.
Sure thing- We produced the 1996 A&E Biography of Jerry- as well as the 1999 Bio of the Rat Pack. You can see them at the bio.com website as well as here. Jerry's bio is titled "Jerry Lewis... The Last American Clown" Thanks again for watching our channel- we appreciate it. PS- they got a bigger crowd than Sinatra... :)
Wow! I always remembered seeing this mania/scene in books and in encyclopedias growing up. I'm a little confused; I know it was a different time, but it seems at the time, as if they were larger than life and much more popular than the Beatles compared to when Beatle Mania came along; though Dean Martin bumped the Beatles "It's a hard to stay his night" off the charts and went to 1st. Place in 1964 with his hit song "Everybody loves somebody sometimes". I'm not sure? But I think it was Jerry Lewis that had these clips/film/videos that includes TCR with digital index numbers. I say this because I see many of his personal film/videos of Dean and him with the TCR digital indexing. He was a genius. He wanted to preserve movie history for future generations and did it well.He also thought of having his movies with Dean shot in vivid Technicolor for some of his movies such as "Artists and Models" because he was saying back in the day, these older films are fading in color; to whereas the vivid Technicolor films that he and Dean were in are still as vivid in color as the day they were filmed.🎥 📽️
I discovered Jerry a week ago (I've already seen around 8 of his solo films, and some of them with commentaries by him; so interesting!) and your ytube channel like 10 min ago. It's amazing, too bad in Spain is 1 am, I'm so watching all your Jerry vídeos tomorrow :D
@soapbxprod But do the two boys have two identical medals around their necks? They look like two identical necklaces. They were wonderful! And beautiful!
I used to know the story behind their medals but I've forgotten... I think that they are mentioned in Nick Tosches' book "Dino". I think that they are Saint Christopher medals.
@@soapbxprod The book you mentioned came to me from Amazon two days ago, I just started reading it. I will see if those medals are mentioned. Thanks for answering me.
Now----------this is just me----------------Ok ??-----------------That said : after seeing all of the YT entries with Martin & Lewis, I have arrived, at one firm conclusion : I WOULD HAVE LASTED ABOUT 30 SECONDS WITH JERRY LEWIS ! -------------The guy's mouth & ego, would have been too much for me, in < 30 seconds .----------------------Now, that's just me.----------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
Dean and Jerry became the hottest act in show business because they were FUNNY! This clip only documents their massive fandom. Also, it was not only a simpler time but a classy one.
I think it's not remembered by many anymore and most people never really knew how popular Martin and Lewis really were. This film footage proves it. They were superstars.
What a beautiful time to be alive. So happy Jerry and Dean were experiencing this amount of attention and adoration.
Oh man how I'd love to go back in time and be down there on the street, screaming my head off for these two (especially Jerry!)

Funny thing is, they were just doing a gig in town. This confirmed to Dean and Jerry that they were HUGE!
Now they go crazy over Justin Bieber. Those two had more talent in their pinkies than Justin does in his whole body. Ugh. Entertainment has gone downhill.

@soapbxprod Have you seen Jerry Lewis in Cinderfella? It's one of the sweetest movie I ever watched.

Jerry said they did this to get the audience out of the theater, so they could sell tickets to the next show.

I can only think people had simple minds back then most of this stuff is stupid not funny at all just plain dumb. Well i dont get it not funny at all
Dean and Jerry became the hottest act in show business because they were FUNNY! This clip only documents their massive fandom. Also, it was not only a simpler time but a classy one.
