    <body><![CDATA[As obnoxious as Jerry Lewis can be this book (with a helping author) is great. It's a great look into a strange and mostly ignored time period in America - 1946 to 1956. After the war but before Elvis. A time of night clubs, tuxedos, smoking (everyone), highballs. During those 10 years the partner ship of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis was the biggest thing to every hit show business. I had no idea how hugely popular this team was. Jerry gives lots of insights into their relationship (he worshiped Dean while maybe Dean tolerated him while the money was rolling) and even better into the night club world of the early 50's. Read it if you were alive then or even if you were not. ]]></body>
