Hollywood or Bust

I finally got my favorite Martin & Lewis EP to finish off my collection!  This was the rarest one of the bunch!  This is actually a UK edition.   I had all the songs off the masters on CD, but I wanted the actual EP.  A Wonderful soundtrack!

Director Frank Tashlin films the New Frontier marquee sign when Elvis Presley appears there in late April 1956. The shot appears in the Martin & Lewis film Hollywood or Bust, their last film released late in '56. Dean also makes mention of Elvis in the film, while at the Hollywood Bowl, as Elvis' second film was in pre-production at Paramount, Loving You (starring M & L alumni Lizabeth Scott and Produced by Hal Wallis, who signed M & L and Elvis to films) @elvis @deanmartinandjerrylewis #lasvegas #elvispresley #halwallis #franktashlin #hollywoodorbust #deanmartin #jerrylewis #newfrontier #kingofrocknroll #history #film #entertainment #comedyteams #martinandlewis

Hollywood or bust

PETE HAWLEY continued

 I have been a fan of Pete Hawley's art for a very long time!  My pal Lil' Ron Murphy gave me these cool MONSTER decorations Pete did many years ago...

I have the one-sheet, three-sheet and half-sheet to HOLLYWOOD OR BUST (my favorite Martin & Lewis poster art)

HOLLYWOOD OR BUST

Another one of my favorites!  In the Hollywood Bowl scene at top, Dean mentions Elvis Presley as he is reading the paper because Elvis was making LOVING YOU for Paramount in 1956.  In another scene, you can see Elvis' name on the FRONTIER HOTEL'S sign because he had a short stint there that didn't go very well and didn't return to Vegas as a performer until 1969..   

An Howlarious Fun-fest for a gala Holiday season!
