Scared Stiff - Bongo Bingo

[darkmountains7]

Dean did a split . . . wow.

[Hadeydeppio]

LMFAO 1:22 was a legitimate fall! HAHA.

[listeningtoit]

Carmen was very ill and in distress (december 1952). It´s hard to understand why she accepted to make this film in such conditions. Years of anfetamine and seconal abuse had taken their toll... Alcohol was involved too! Her husband had taken control of her life and carreer with bad consequences. In 1953 she went to an European tornee to promote this movie that proved to be too much for her. She died a few time after. Lewis is absolutely nasty! Martin was sexy, with a nice baritone voice.

[seajayaway]

What's with Carmen Miranda's facial freak out at :04? It cracks me up!!

[sanoiro]

I really like the pair but s no wonder why they split up at some point. DM made him like a fool in every movie they made. Whoever thought that JL wouldn't keep up in a movie alone was obviously mistaken.

What a shame they don't make movies like that anymore... A great actor and a good plot were the only things needed back then...

[topcat1121]

@sanoiro Actually JL understood people wanted to see JL in a sympathetic abet sometimes the foolish role. It was DM who was more upset with the roles they played as DM often played a heel or a cad which he objected to more than once. Too bad Wallis (M and L's producer) very rarely let the guys go beyond a formulistic plot and only separately could either do what they were best at.

AY AY BINGO!

[mouflette48]

dean and jerry were twin when they sing or play togeher have already the rythm and all to do perfectly the scene they were simply wonderfull

[juxtaposedbananatree]

I love that it isn't overly choreographed! x__x; Nowadays the dancing scenes in movies are so synchronized they might as well be performed by robots or something. But, this has more character.

[lovejoecartwright]

god i wish i had some of jerrys energy lol

[eleventhdr]

Yeah i'm a kid trapped in an aging body and the kid want's back out!

[robie0788]

Jerry once said his character is 9 year old boy, and he is just the keeper of the idiot.

[CatRevolver]

[thanksforthemessdick]

[BrunetteLiana76]

Jerry was soooo funny!!! I love him. He was like a little kid in a man's body. He sure could act like a kid.

[omigoshDianaaa]

haha.

i remember watching this when

i was a kid =]

[im sixteen now, but still]

=]

[TallisFTW]

This actually looks like it came from one of their old shows to me; I'm not sure, however. Dean was used to Jerry improvising and falling all over the place, so Jerry's falling over the bongo strap didn't take him completely by surprise. I must say I preferred Jerry to Dean, no matter how lovely the latter's voice was. Mr. Lewis was a comedic genius when it came to timing, slapstick, and improvisation.

[Andrastos]

Dean and Jerry are the best team ever! ;-)

The differnece in their voices is too funny^^

[ToriJackman]

love this song

[marcosvalenca]

Edith Head originated marvelously creative costumes for Miranda who was one of the best entertainers on the planet.

[prodigiesofpeace]

Haha, you actually see Dean look at Jerry and laugh at 1:27 after Jerry trips on the bongo strap :)

[dinoslady]

Best Dean and Jerry movie. I love this film so much. my favorite song in this movie is Enchilada Man. Such talent. Oh My. Thanks for posting it.

[LoverOfVenom]

Ah Dean Martin has such a soulful voice.

[prodigiesofpeace]

Yeah, that figures ^_^

Love them.

[prodigiesofpeace]

When Jerry falls at 1:22... was that rehearsed?

If it wasn't, which I don't think it is, I love how Dean continues singing and Jerry jumps right up again :)

[Realsmartz]

It didn't look rehearsed...kinda reminds me of when michelle fell down in destiny's child performance and kelly just walked over her and they kept on performing....

[AAAmazin]

Jerry is adorable :-)

[bencheshire]

This is really funny if you imagine Jerry's the girl.

[JTR878]

Dean Martin Is The Man.

[linkaska]

Świetne!!!!!Dzięki:)

[TookTheMidnightTrain]

Haha Jerry and that voice crack me up. All the running in circles! Hilarious!!

[bellabelina]

wonderful

[esmiscrino]

Carmen Miranda Continua fantastica!!!

[tigergirl72]

hahaa thats Hilarious i love Jerry!! i love that song to "bongo bingo. did u say bingo?!?" and the fall at the end was great!

[PrincessBlack]

Ok, Im a HUGE Jerry Lewis fan. Ive seen almost every movie he's ever made...I cannot express how much I know about the man, ok? Im also a very big fan of the Monkees. Once again, I cannot express...

Anyways, Sunday I made a great discovery all by myself! Micky Dolenz' (the lead singer of the monkees) father plays Mr.Quartega in this movie! I couldnt believe it!

[grooveyloop]

What a voice, what a face, god, what a Man! He sings every genre so well!

[bisnagaboy]

Viva Carmen Miranda!

[SomefabulousDame]

Ole y tu-u-u-ahh!

Hahaha! XP

[poistu]

I like that song.

[poistu]

I love Jerry. That high pitch voice is adorable.

[ricardojim]

Carmen Miranda... beautiful brazilian girl!

[deni0mar7]

Actually she was born in Portugal, then she went to Brazil

[marcosvalenca]

But Carmen considered herself Brazilian as she moved to Brazil as a baby. Miranda spent most of her life in Rio de Janeiro, not Marco de Canavezes - Portugal.

[Dorota1981]

Dino's voice sounds soooo smooth, excellent!

[crocetti1984]

Oh that is one sexy Italian man!
