Hollywood or Bust (1956)

My Rating

Movie Info

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made their last joint film appearance in the girl-filled musical Hollywood or Bust. The thinnish plot finds inveterate film fan Jerry making a cross-country journey to Tinseltown for the purpose of meeting his favorite screen star, the buxom Anita Ekberg (the film's title, need it be added, has a double meaning). Dean goes along for the ride, hoping to expand his bankroll during a Las Vegas stopover. The boys are joined by a third traveller, an enormous Great Dane

Unrated, 1 hr. 35 min.

Classics, Comedy

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis team up for the last time (aw shucks!).

Audience Reviews for Hollywood or Bust

Pretty much barren, apart from the self-referential gags (although the pimping of both Paramount and VistaVision becomes tiresome), and the gambling scene where the Lewis/Martin combo really works. The rest of it is a non-event, although the songs are OK.
