Movie Reviews of Greg Garrison Presents - The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show (Volume I)
Movie Review: Dino Deserves Better--And So Do His Fans
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to agree with the reviewers here and take Greg Garrison and Company to task for the way in which this product has been offered to the general public.
Like many people I have very fond memories of sixties and seventies television, which as a kid I happily watched with my family and friends. Next to sitcoms and cartoons my favorites were the variety shows, and The Dean Martin Show was one of the very best.
So I was delighted to learn that all these years later The Dean Martin Show was being re-released, but my delight has turned to disappointment as I see how it has been packaged.
Is there a reason (beyond the screamingly obvious) why shows like this keep getting sliced and diced into "volumes" featuring annoyingly truncated segments, not to mention mere highlights and clips, of great performances by classic entertainers? What will it take before companies like Guthy-Renker realize that the buying public is sick and tired of such obnoxious practices?
I am not really a Dino "fanatic"-- I was a little girl in my first years of grammar school when his variety show debuted and was a junior in high school when it ended--but as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate Dean Martin's unique charm and talent, and to love and admire the best of his amazing body of work, from his frenzied Martin and Lewis period to the swingin' Rat Pack high life to his long and varied solo actor-singer years.
The Dean Martin Show was wonderful, capturing Dino at his easygoing best (especially in zany comedy bits with performers like Bob Newhart, Dom Deluise, Jonathan Winters, Don Rickles and Paul Lynde, who knew just how to play against their host's loopy, warmly playful shtick). Martin and his impressive roster of Golden Age of Hollywood guests deserve so much better than these clip and paste job "volumes"--and so do we.
Put the full season DVDs of The Dean Martin Show out there (and do it soon please) and we'll buy them. Until then Garrison and Guthy-Renker are not getting another penny of my money!
