Featured review
Like many hard working men and women, we see how hard and long Dean Martin worked to hone and expand his talent and maintain the love of his large and faithful fan base. This documentary provides some good insights into who Dean Martin, the singer, Vegas performer, and film star really was. It provides us with insight that Dean didn't have any time for phonies and preferred to go to his room after a hard day on stage or in front of the camera. He valued honesty and loved his family, and his family loved him back. He married and divorced three times if you don't include his marriages to his comedy partner Jerry Lewis and/or to his Vegas Rat pack buddies.
Hearing stories from the people that knew him best/well provided further insight into Dean Martins humble beginnings and family life and losses as when his son died in a plane crash and once again the King of Cool seemed to hibernate and reluctantly but very selectively socialized with family members and close friends until his death.
On the day he died he was telling his old friend Frank Sinatra a joke about two corpse's when one corpse says to the other corpse "Is that you coffin?"
Rest in Peace Dean from one of your loyal fans.
