Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis "Pardners" 1956 theatrical trailer

Pardners is a movie starring the comedy team of Martin and Lewis and was released on July 25, 1956 by Paramount Pictures.

The film was made from November 21, 1955 through January 28, 1956 and is loosely based on the 1936 Bing Crosby film, Rhythm on the Range, which was also directed by Norman Taurog and it was filmed under the working title of Where Men are Men. During production Lewis filmed a documentary in 16mm of this film.

During production, rumors abounded about the impending demise of the Martin and Lewis partnership, so when 'The End' title screen appeared, Dean and Jerry address the audience and exclaim "We're not ready for 'The End' yet" and they shoot the letters off the screen! Then they continue to address the audience, for the only time ever, addressing one another as "Dean" and "Jer," telling them how much they enjoy making pictures for them.

@soapbxprod What an incredible person!!! My kids are 12, 9 and 5 years old and I have shared with them some of my favorite Jerry movies. They are now fans. They love listening to the old Dean and Jerry radio show (Chesterfield). His comedy is timeless. Please thank him for me and my family for the decades of joy and laughter he has given us.
