Used successfully over fifty years. golf has a way of seeping into everything that concerns Dean. With all their side-line interests and hobbies, it’s a deep, dark mystery how a Martin and Lewis movie ever gets finished, but somehow they all come in on schedule. Even their famous home movies, demented as anything Martin and Lewis can perpetrate, have a method to their madness. With $66,000 invested in camera equipment, each movie takes a month to shoot and costs $3,000 to $4,000. The cast (Tony Curtis, Shelley Winters, Janet Leigh, Jeff Chandler, anyone else who may be handy!) works several evenings a week and on Sundays from eight in the morning until late the next morning. Of course, those are the Sundays when the Martin and Lewis Aristocrats don’t have a ball game at Sawtelle Veterans’ Hospital. This is the team that started on a sand lot and includes Dale Robertson, Jeff Chandler, Tony Curtis, Peter Lawford, Danny Arnold and Mack Grey. “We get our name, Aristocrats,” Dean explains carefully, “because we look like bums in our baseball suits.” A bore is someone who keeps talking when you are interrupting. RED SKELTON In making the home movie satires, one of Jerry’s eyes may roll dementedly — but the other is on an ultimate goal of directing. Whether it’s possible to keep him behind a camera remains to be seen, but Martin and Lewis’s own pi'oducing company, York Pictures, won t have to take the chance. Hal Wallis, to whom they’re under contract, has told Jerry he can codirect any time he’s ready. Dean heckles, “I am not gambling with my money. If Mr. Wallis wants to let him, all right.” They themselves may be completely lacking in inhibitions, but a more orderly business (if that’s the word for it) was never run. Every radio script and recording of every show, 16mm prints of all their TV shows and movies plus the scripts (the TV ones are full of holes from their ad libs), every press clipping are kept. A vault is to be built in Jerry Lewis’s home to hold the record of the Martin and Lewis madness. Ask them a question: “Where were you on July 16, 1947?” and the record might show: “We were at the Steel Pier, Atlantic City, weather was clear and hot, grossed so much — and the ocean registered seventy degrees.” It’s a solid business, carried on in a bughouse. The melee on a Martin and Lewis set spreads to all parts of the Paramount lot when the boys are working. Between takes on “Money From Home” you could find Jerry, the business tycoon of the team dressed in a jockey costume, in Bungalow 110, signing letters and disposing of last minute details before the European trip. In the adjoining bungalow, Dean is rehearsing a song for their last TV show. The mail arrives with a card from Bing: “Still can’t find anyone who knows you.” Bing Crosby, in Europe himself, was heckling them about their forthcoming trip. That continent’s discombobulation is only this country’s short respite. On September 26, the Martin and Lewis tidal wave hits the New York Paramount again, then back to Hollywood where life at times, is almost normal!
