A few posts back we looked at Lou Costello taking a dance lesson. This time we see Martin & Lewis going at it. Yes, I know the world is divided into those who like Jerry Lewis and those who don't, but whichever side you're on I think you'll enjoy the physical comedy moves in this piece from the old television show, the Colgate Comedy Hour. Dean Martin is the instructor, Lewis the oafish and slow-witted student. The first half is full of solo gyrations by Lewis, while the second half has some real nice partner work.
Update (4-1-12): The blog New Slapstick has a post analyzing a segment of this routine: Creating Simple Double Act Material
Love it!!! physical clowns to the max!!! Dance 'should', could, oughta be THE priority for the training of a clown. Have you seen the youtube clip with Jerry Lewis being a magician's assistant... and the magician is Red Skelton!! Have you written about your experiences with Red etc? x ira
