Sobre IBD

Martini Man goes beyond the simple caricature of the boozy lounge singer with a penchant for racy humor to reveal the substantive man behind that mask. Although Martin’s movie roles receive in-depth attention in this incisive biography, as does his career-defining partnership with Jerry Lewis, details of Dino’s personal life also abound, such as how Shierly MacLaine dropped by his house 'to tell Dean she was in love with him-even though his wife was in the other room.' William Schoell’s chronicle is a sympathetic portrait that recreates the life and times of one of America’s favorite entertainers.
