The acting in this movie is really good.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Dean boy (Rick Todd) and Lewis (Eugene Fullstack) would always just make you laugh! It was funny when Lewis' character was constantly going up and down the stairs in order to give messages from the phone call to Martin's character who was taking a bath. When Lewis was panting like hard and couldn't answer on what Martin inquired him about the phone call, Martin shouted at him and crossed his eyes like Jerry Lewis always does! It made me laugh hysterically, it was just so funny!There was another scene where Eugene ' s comic books were sucked into the pump for the smoke to come out on the billboard featuring a attractive woman and every paper was torn to shreds. The whole shredding paper was all over the street covering everyone including the boys old bosses who just fired them both for ruining the billboard. Add to that, a few of the paint cans dropped on them by accident so it definitely wasn't going go well for the duo in that regard! I honestly loved how the models looked so fashionable during the time, they really stood out well, thanks to the makeup and fashion department in making them look stunning! I say all of them still look beautiful today, it would be interesting to know what they look like! I didn't know Shirley MacLaine had done a movie with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin! I liked how she was trying to catch Lewis' attention to fall in love with her! They just looked cute! Both must've been in their early 20's when they did this film together and this is over 60 years since this film came out! I honestly loved the entertainment in this, it just looked so innocent and lovely that you would forget about your troubles and dance away to all the songs!
Seen on the big screen, Frank Tashlin's ARTIST AND MODELS is one of the most colorful live action move ever made. It's also probably the best movie made by Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis. Martin is a comic book artist with little talent who takes room-mate Lewis's flights of fancy as his own. As in all Martin & Lewis films, mayhem ensues. It's fast paced, very funny, and very enjoyable. How can anyone not like movie with characters named Eugene Fullstack and Bessie Sparrowbrush? Martin and Lewis are in fine form and the supporting cast is exceptional. Dorothy Malone, Eva Gabor, Anita Ekberg and, best of all, Shirley MacLaine. It also helps to have the likes of Eddie Mayehoff and Jack Elam (as Ivan) in the mix. Daniel L. Fapp provided the extremely vivid cinematography. The clever art direction is by Hal Pereira, who had a hand in virtually every Paramount release during the 1950s and 60s.
Dean Martin plays an artist named Rick Todd and Jerry Lewis is his buddy Eugene Fullstack.Eugene happens to be obsessed with comic books and has very bad dreams because of those.Rick gets an idea to make a comic book from Eugene's dreams.In the same building there lives Abigail Parker (Dorothy Malone), who's the author of Eugene's favorite comic book The Bat Lady and the model Bessie Sparrowbrush (Shirley MacLaine).Rick likes Abby and Bessie likes Eugene.Eddie Mayehoff is a little weird publisher Mr Murdock.Frank Tashlin's Artists and Models (1955) is an awfully funny picture from Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.These two were magnificent together.Also other actors support the main clowns very well.Maclaine and Malone are very pretty and great actresses.Eddie Mayehoff is just hilarious as the publisher.There are also people like Eva Gabor (Zsa Zsa's sister), Anita Ekberg, Jack Elam and Kathleen Freeman.The movie is filled with great actors and funny scenes.There's one where Jerry has to keep running downstairs all the time for the telephone and Jerry on TV with many others.There are also some wonderful musical numbers, like where Shirley sings Innamorata very loud making Jerry freaked and Dean singing with the little girl.There are many scenes to remember.This movie is fifty years old (where did the time go), but it hasn't aged a bit as Jerry Lewis movies never will.Jerry never will.
Yes, Jerry Lewis can get annoying, but this movie is worth seeing just for the visuals. As in Cinderfella, the clothes and sets are all too broad and too bright for real life. Tashlin has a talent for making Lewis's mugging work more often than not.
