Movie Reviews of Greg Garrison Presents The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show - Volume Two (2)
Movie Review: Miss-mash is more like it
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, the show was funny, especially in its later days, probably
a testament to how fast cultural taste in comedy changed from the mid
to late 60s.
Also, one of the great innovations of the show was Dean's disregard of
what I call the "barrier of the proscenium", the separation between
the audience and production staff and the performer, the illusion that
the performer(s) existed in a self-contained universe. In T.V. up to
that time, even with live audiences, the two never mixed. Dean,
however, predates innovators like Letterman in breaking down this
barrier.
However, I couldn't agree more with Red Wood's review. What a
difference 4 decades make.
I bought the first three of the DVDs with the idea that it would
bring back fond memories of all the stars that appeared on
Dean's show. It succeeds in this area, but the humor is out-dated and
even embarasingly bad. This is quite incongruous considering the list
of all-time greats that appeared on the show: Woody Allen, Jonathon
Winters, Rowen and Martin, Bill Cosby, et al.
There's way too much Bob Newhart. While popular in the era, he wasn't
an important comedian like Winters, Allen and Cosby and his shtick
wears thin quickly. The sketches with Winters are bland and flat.
Woody Allen, one of the best stand-up comedians, is dull.
Then there's the Don Rickles sketch in which the sound stage is
converted to a nightclub scene with an audience of real celebrities
which is excruciatingly bad. Rickles in his prime was one of the best
insult comics, but this episode is not a prime example. The bit goes
on for most of DVD 3 and I fast forwarded though most of it.
The music is probably the best part of the collection with
luminaries like a young(er) Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and the
great Ella Fitzerald.
