A New Sheriff In Boondocks
Warning: Spoilers
It was always interesting to me how the writers at Paramount managed to rework some of the plots of their old classics to fit Martin and Lewis. In this next to terminal film Pardners, it's taken from the old Bing Crosby classic Rhythm On The Range. They even managed to get the old director of Bing'due south pic Norman Taurog to direct.
Dean and Jerry are the sons of a pair of ranchers who were both killed in a range war. Dean'southward parents stayed w, but Agnes Moorehead every bit Jerry'due south mom, went East, fabricated a ton of coin and raised Jerry every bit the tenderest tenderfoot ever. Dean's now gone east and entered rodeo competition to win money for a prize bull named Cuddles. He meets up with Jerry who 'helps' him out in his usual manner.
Most of Rhythm on the Range involved Bing Crosby on the journey dorsum due west with Cuddles the bull and Frances Farmer where some romance develops. Since no ane would confuse Frances with Jerry, the love interest has to exist supplied elsewhere. Jerry's cousin Lori Nelson does this for Dean. In fact according to the Nick Tosches biography on Dean Martin, the interest was off the screen too.
Jerry doesn't do besides bad in this motion picture either. He gets saloon girl and former Miss U.s.a. Jackie Loughrey. By that time Jerry'due south been made the sheriff and he's gotten the ire roused of one item bad guy Jeff Morrow who thinks of Loughrey as his own. But in the end all's well and even the intergenerational range war has finally ended. Non without the usual broad comedic gags that are a Martin and Lewis specialty.
Bing fabricated out miles amend in his film than Dino did in the song department. Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn wrote the score for Pardners and information technology's definitely not up to their usual standards. In Rhythm on the Range Bing got to sing, Empty Saddles and introduced I'm An Former Cowhand. Since they owned the rights, why didn't Paramount just allow Martin have some of these to do. In fact I'm An Old Cowhand would have been a neat comic duet for both Dino and Jerry.
However the accent was on comedy rather than romance in Pardners and that is what Martin and Lewis do best.

This is just sheer entertainment that never grows old
RIDE ALONG WITH THESE Two COMEDIC COWBOY LEGENDS - viii out of x rating
I love Jerry Lewis films so when I popped in this DVD which is classified as a Western/Comedy I was hoping to see a picture that may provide a few chuckles. Much to my surprise for a moving picture that was released almost sixty years agone the film quality was in pristine Technicolor, the tandem of Martin and Lewis and a strong supporting cast that included Agnes Moorehead kept me entertained throughout the movie from beginning to finish.
Lost in the production values of today'south films is that combination of a uncomplicated merely effective plot, the bantering between the two co- stars Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, the slapstick comedy of the King of Comedy of the 1950's and 1960'southward Jerry Lewis, and the film also threw in a few cowboy songs that were sung by swooner Dean Martin. Heck even Jerry and Dean sung a few numbers together.
I keep hearing that life was much simpler back in the 1950's than it is now 60 years later. Although in my humble opinion if there were more family oriented films such equally this classic comedy "Pardners" that were more readily available for families to sit downwardly and sentinel together as a family unit unit rather than today's generation of laptop, tabloid and android users who prefer to watch films in isolation that are saturated with Computer Generated Imagery more normally known every bit CGI the family unit would be stronger today with a lot less violence in the globe.
Pardners has everything this moviegoer demands. It has a simple plot with great comedy relief and a few light songs to go on with the cowboy's journey. The two old cowboys from the belatedly 1800's played past Dean Martin and Lewis die together at the hands of an evil desperado but go out behind their sons (also played by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis) who 25 years subsequently in the early 1900'due south join forces together in one case once again to take down the evil broker who also happens to exist the son of the rustler who killed their daddies 25 years earlier.
Jerry Lewis plays the bumbling heir apparent to mom's (Agnes Moorehead) industrial revolution fortune who runs abroad to reunite with real life cowpoke Dean Martin to save the ranch that Jerry'south and Dean's daddies died trying to save many years ago. It is a wonderful family film that has endured the test of time. I urge families to sit back and relax with a bowl of popcorn and just enjoy this comedy western classic.
I requite the picture a strong 8 out of 10 rating

About a buckskin dazzler.
Pardners is the 15th of the 16 feature length pictures that Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis made together. It'a a reworking of the 1936 Bing Crosby film, Rhythm On The Range, which just like this remake was directed by Norman Taurog. Plot sees the comedy duo playing sons of one time wild westward partners. Brought together past accident 25 years afterward, the boys caput out westward and get into all sorts of scrapes; with Jerry even becoming sheriff! Information technology was inevitable that Martin & Lewis would end up out west playing cowboys since all the comedy duos practise it. The timing hither was perfect since the 50s was the near prolific decade for the genre. On the list of their collaborations Pardners probably sits some where in the center, information technology's a safe mix of songs and buffoonery, with pretty girls represented by Jackie Loughery & Lori Nelson. It'south a VistaVision/Technicolor production and songs featured are "Me 'due north You 'n the Moon," "The Wind! The Current of air!" "Buckskin Beauty" and "Pardners," (music past Jimmy Van Heusen, lyrics by Sammy Cahn).
Condom & colourful one-act fare for fans of the successful duo. seven/10

An awful lot similar a remake of "That's My Male child".
This is the second to concluding film starring Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis--and and then the title does seem a bit ironic! The picture begins with Dean and Jerry's fathers (played past them with powdered pilus) dying in a shoot out with baddies. Even so, both men had sons. One was a capable and manly cowboy (Martin) and the other a pampered mama'south boy (Lewis) and they grow upward not knowing each other. However, when Martin meets with his sometime partner's widow (Agnes Moorehead) to endeavor to get money for a prize bull, she refuses but her son (Lewis) decides to get west with Martin and learn to be a real he-man. Plus, his mother has plans for him that include wedlock to an amazon--and he wants no part of it. The rest of the film consists of Jerry acting wimpy and very goofy (perhaps too much so at times) and Martin being exasperated but loyal to his new friend who makes anybody (including Jerry) think he's a lot more than rugged and brave than he really is.
If you retrieve near information technology, this plot is basically "That'due south My Male child" (an earlier and better Martin & Lewis film) all once more. The locale is different, but the rest is basically the aforementioned formula. It's a pleasant formula, but also shows lazy writing as well and the motion picture could take benefited from more originality. Plus, in a few scenes Jerry really does ham it up also much (even more than normal) and there are just too many "ooooo, oooohs" and "whoo-oooaa" moments in the otherwise pleasant but unremarkable film. And, as a outcome of so much screen time for Jerry, Martin is mostly relegated to the background--and you lot can see how films like this ultimately pushed them to their dissolving their pardner-ship.
By the way, this film too bears a potent similarity to the Bob Promise films "The Paleface" and "Son of Paleface". See them all and you'll probably hold.

Jerry and Dean are doing things!
This is a great Martin and Lewis Comedy from 1956, which is the same year that they broke upwardly as a Comedic Duo, and this motion-picture show "Pardners," was the 2d to their concluding that was made. Jerry's father and Dean's father were the best of friends, and died together in the hopes of saving their country. And of course, the story picks upwardly with the children fully grown and gear up to become dorsum get some justice in the western town in which they were both born. Dean has some keen singing numbers in this motion picture, and Jerry's special brand of concrete comedy is very effective in a number of saloon fight scenes. A very entertaining comedy!

Ane of the boys' amend efforts
Warning: Spoilers
This Martin & Lewis film is beautiful in full-color Vista-Vision! It's ready in the Sometime Westward, where Dean is managing a ranch and Jerry wants to be a cowboy...like their fathers, who were pals in the Quondam West at the aforementioned ranch. Of course, in the old days and the new days there's a villain attempting to take over the ranch, and information technology'due south up to the boys to salvage the day.
Dean has several great songs here. "The Wind! The Wind!" is probably one of his best recordings during the Capitol years, and "Me 'n You 'n the Moon" is a very nice up-temp beloved song. For Jerry at that place's "Buckskin Beauty", and for the boys together there'due south the title vocal...which is very squeamish, though ironic since this moving picture was playing in theaters just most the time the duo had split up. Past the way, the songs were composed past Sammy Cahn and Jimmy VanHeusen.
I found Jerry a little more tolerable here...the screechy voice mostly gone...a fleck more mature acting (mature?). Dean was very laid back and fit the role. In terms of supporting actors, Agnes Moorehead is proficient equally Jerry's mother, and Lori Nelson fine every bit Dean's love involvement (though this is not big speaking role). There are a number of familiar faces among the cowboys -- Jeff Morrow, Lon Chaney, Jr., Lee Van Cleef, Jack Elam, and Bob Steele.
Incidentally, if yous have a chance to scout "The Caddy" and "Pardners" in succession -- which I did yesterday and today -- wow, what a deviation in Dean's body language and facial expressions. In the earlier film, in that location's a look that sort of says, "I'grand having fun". Y'all don't see that in "Pardners".
All in all, a rather pleasant effort, and in my view one of the better of the Martin & Lewis pics.

Fun Martin & Lewis Film
Pardners (1956)
*** (out of 4)
Our film starts off with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis playing Slim Moseley and Wade Kingsley who die protecting their ranch. Moseley, Jr. (Martin) stays out Due west where he eventually tries to save the ranch and he goes out East to runway down Wade, Jr. (Lewis) who he discovers is quite the weak nerd. Wade, wanting to get a cowboy, follows Moseley out West and soon they are going up confronting a crooked gang who wants their land.
I really wasn't certain what to await from PARDNERS but it turned out to exist one of the meliorate Martin & Lewis movies even if it does borrow quite heavily from their moving picture THAT'S MY Boy. This moving-picture show here benefits greatly from the beautiful Technicolor plus the fact that the 2 leads are surrounding by a very skillful supporting cast. Plus, you can't assistance just enjoy seeing Martin in his first Western and especially when you consider the smashing things he did for the genre after the duo'southward split.
As far equally this picture goes, Martin & Lewis were only built for the Western setting and both of them practice a very proficient job here. I really liked Lewis' character here because he wasn't nearly as whiny or as annoying as the actor would erstwhile get. This character seemed similar a legit one and I thought Lewis did a very good job. One of his highlights deals with him trying to roll a cigarette without much luck. Martin was perfect here as he gets some very skilful numbers throughout the motion-picture show including the championship track, which is done with Lewis on a skillful Western set.
The supporting cast includes fun performances from Lori Nelson, Jackie Loughery, Agnes Moorehead, Jeff Morrow, Lee Van Cleef and Lon Chaney in a pocket-sized role. Y'all too have Jack Elam and Bob Steele appearing in small roles. The film has a lot of funny moments hither including i very good sequence where Martin is having to fill in for Lewis during a fight while making sure the weak 1 gets the credit for information technology. Every bit I said, the Technicolor here looks terrific and I liked how the film played well as not only a comedy but also a Western.

Considering when this was released, Pardners was an ironic championship for this Martin & Lewis movie
tavm 29 Baronial 2011
Later years of only seeing parts of this Martin & Lewis movie, I finally watched the whole thing on YouTube. As y'all can discern from the title, Dean & Jerry are in the former west. Outset, as their fathers from the previous century. And so, as their sons with the female parent of Lewis (Agnes Moorehead) raising him back in New York to marry some Amazon adult female simply that son will have none of it. I'll stop there and just say that while I enjoyed Pardners, I did experience that some of the plot points and characterizations seemed rushed in order to parody sure clichés. Still, Jerry's as funny as he can be doing what he does here and Dean seems quite comfortable in his offset of many times he would vesture cowboy duds. The leading ladies of Lori Nelson and Jackie Loughery sure look good and cipher more. The villains of Jeff Morrow and John Baragrey provide good plenty menace. So on that note, I recommend Pardners. P.South. Despite the team mentioning at the end they plan to stay together in movies for years, by the fourth dimension this was released in August of '56, they had already done their concluding performance in tandem the previous calendar month. It would be 20 years before they would publicly reunite on Jerry's telethon with Frank Sinatra doing his bit...

A brilliant movie with Lewis & Martin
Alert: Spoilers
I never idea that both of them will be starring in a western movie. They would usually have films based on show business but this is definitely different from their other stuff. I honestly thought at the beginning, Lewis and Martin were gonna await like old bucks throughout the whole moving picture but when they were suppose to be killed, I actually about cried. However it wasn't the case after all because the quondam bucks were meant to be their father's and they just suddenly changed into their regular selves.
I really loved the scenes of the quondam W, it does take you correct back in time when cowboy movies were increasingly pop in the 50's and 60s. It'due south a really nice feeling but unfortunately, cowboy movies nowadays aren't shown much anymore!
This picture is such a jewel, I honestly loved Lewis and Martin teaming up on this i!

A pretty disappointing movie all things considered
I'd heard a lot of smashing things about the comedy pairing of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. I'd seen Jerry Lewis in another films before this (such equally "The Nutty Professor" and "Rock-A-Farewell-Baby") where he didn't really stand out every bit being a comedy legend, if anything he but seemed really annoying at points.
However I wasn't going to let that get in the style of enjoying what I had heard was a nifty double act.
But... this movie kind of sucked.
The most of import thing that a one-act needs is to be funny, and unfortunately this doesn't quite hitting the right mark. Jerry Lewis screaming and whining in that vocalisation of his gets irritating later a while, and pairing him with the rather subdued and (in my opinion anyway) boring Dean Martin doesn't help as there'southward no i effectually to rein him in.
The story of this picture feels similar it was thought up five minuted before shooting began. It's the standard "there's a new sheriff in boondocks and some criminals are trying to get rid of him" situation that we've all seen nigh 1 hundred times before. Nevertheless I will requite the writers some credit as they did try to add a little twist to it, merely ultimately it doesn't work because yous don't really intendance about what's happening.
In that location'south also this weird thing virtually an inter-generational family unit war which means that Dean Martin'south character (a cowboy) and Jerry Lewis' graphic symbol (a spoiled socialite who has always dreamed of beingness a cowboy) take to team upwardly to stop the bad guys who are... doing something bad.
Still this but means that it takes about 40 minutes for the two chief characters to squad upwards which means the residuum of the flick feels incredibly rushed, so I wish they'd structured the movie better in that regard.
Oh yeah, also it's a musical? That was something I simply figured out about xxx minutes in, which is when the first musical number appears. I can't actually recollect any other songs after that though, so maybe there was only one? Either way, it was unnecessary and pointless and only served to waste product time.
Overall, this movie was a pretty big thwarting, but it wasn't completely awful. Hopefully my future attempts to watch some Lewis and Martin will yield greater results.

Lewis raised by a wealthy mother : Agnes Morehead , who desires progressive wishes for her son, simply the latter just wants to regain the familly , glory and and clean up the town from baddies . Lewis is especially a maladroit millionaire , who goes to the one-time Due west to learn to be a cowboy , there he meets the brave shooter Dean Martin - he produced uncredited the film too - who wants to buy a prize cow. Concurrently, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis shoot the works with laughter and ballets, ballads and beauties. Along the style, they confront a gang of bandits who currently have under siege the ranch and the town, and and so , eventually , Lewis is appointed sheriff . The laughs are Louder! The songs are bigger ! They are at hands on the Trigger! .All hilarity breaks loose neath that former Western heaven in the biggest fun round-up since Paleface ! . The biggest bestest funni3st almost musical Western yet !
A nice spoof Western, information technology results to be a loose reboot of Norman Taurog's "Rhythm on the Range" made 20 years before with Bing Crosby. Stands out Jerry Lewis at his virtually worryingly infantile, giving overacting , mimic and lots of gesticulation , while Dean Martin singing catching songs in his usual style . However , the Martin and Lewis partnership was nearing breaking bespeak on this ironical and fun Western . Here there is more singing than gunslinging but it turns out to exist entertaining and amusing enough . Incredibly , this amiable enough romp was written past beststseller author Sidney Sheldon. Jerry Lewis at his best as a rich momma'southward boy , a millionaire son of a former rancher who'due south persuaded to go West once once again past the saddle-happy of his father'southward quondam partner , Dean Martin, both of them giving very likable interpretations .In that location'due south also spectacular musical numbers with impressive choreography by prestigious chreographer Nick Castle , attractive musical score by Frank De Vol and colorful cinematography in Technicolor by Daniel L. Fapp
Bully duo starring , Martin and Lewis , are well accompanied by a good bandage , such equally : two beautiful girls incarnated by Lori Nelson , Jackie Loughery , various familiar secondaries as Agnes Morehead, Jeff Morrow, Lon Chaney Jr , Lee Van Cleef , Bob Steele, Jack Elam, among others . The movement film was decently directed past Norman Taurog . This craftsman was a fine Hollywood artisan with penchant for Musical and Comedy , though he too made other genres , such as : "Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Speedway , Toast of New Orleans, Presenting Lily Mars , Broadway Melody of 1940, Bundle of Joy, Girls Gils Girls , GI Blues , Blue Hawaii, Tickle me , Birds and the bees , Double Truble , Words and Music" , amid others . Rating : 6.five/10 . The flick will appeal to spoof Western and Musical genre enthusiasts , as well as Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin fans .

Sad waste of talented veterans
1956'due south "Pardners" showed how the partnership of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis was not only fraying at the edges, information technology was starting time to crumble, with only "Hollywood or Bust" ahead before they finally divide. Here they finally turn to a Western spoof, and get together together an impressive cast of veteran heavies, such as Lon Chaney, Bob Steele, Lee Van Cleef, Douglas Spencer, and Jack Elam (relegated to a single line), all of whom are grievously wasted with virtually nothing to practice only watch the gyrations of the irksome Jerry Lewis. A direct prologue depicting the demise of Dean and Jerry certainly sets a grim tone for the dreary remainder, as poor Dean has to endeavour to save Jerry's hide whenever he gets into trouble, eventually made sheriff past the chief bad guy, out to steal the heroine'southward ranch by marrying her every bit a concluding straw. By the fourth dimension the duo go far out west to the ranch where their fathers died the motion picture is already one-half over, though not soon plenty for this viewer. With actually no character to play, Chaney's Whitey occasionally strokes his chin as he did opposite Bob Steele in 1939, surely a long way from "Of Mice and Men."

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis get West in this 1950s comedy
"Pardners" is one of a slew of comedies that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made together in the early 1950s. Most had two or more than songs for which they get dubbed musicals as well. This one is also a Western. The two starts practice quite well on horses, and obviously knew they way around Western lore. Of course, Jerry's the center of the comedy here. The two play Slim Mosely and Wade Kingsley - first as senior "pardners" in the West of 1885, so every bit juniors of the former pardners.
And of course with these 2 there must ever be one and sometimes 2 females in the picture. Here information technology's Lorri Nelson as Carol Kingsley and Jackie Loughery as Dolly Riley. Others in the supporting cast include Agnes Moorehead as Jerry'southward mom, Mrs. Matilda Kingsley, Lon Chaney Jr. as Whitey and Lee Van Cleef equally Gus.
Watching this pic these many years later, I could imagine that I might take enjoyed information technology more for entertainment as a young teenager when I saw information technology the first time in a theater. Today, information technology'southward just okay for an old-timer, simply I call up one that grandkids might yet savour for some of Jerry's slapstick.

outdated, but OK for the kids
The plot is quite simple: Dean Martin is the rodeo riding, singing cowboy, and foreman of a ranch. Jerry Lewis is a rich kid who wants to become a real cowboy, and hence he becomes the clumsy (unwanted) sidekick of Dean Martin. Oh, and for skilful measure out there'south some bad guys trying to have over the ranch, as well...
If y'all expect "Cat Balou", don't sentinel this. This is no comedy for adults, as its slapstick sense of humor is horrendously outdated, and the set-pieces are all too cliched. This movie is fun for kids, because it is and so naive and harmless, and the violence is never serious. Also, the characters are just every bit simple as Stan and Ollie, just equally loveable if you're a kid.
As adult, I'd recommend to take hold of a "Cat Balou" tape instead, for a good classic western comedy.

Famous bandage just bad movie.
Warning: Spoilers
Pardners is a comedy set in the western. The story starts in the quondam due west when Slim and Wade is forced to defend, well not before they end their checkers game ,their ranch and families from masked raiders. During the fight Wade's wife Matilda takes Wade Jr and runs off to New York. Slim'southward wife with Slim Jr stays merely both Slim and Wade are shot and killed. The Juniors are raised separately, Slim in the west and Wade in New York. The two don't meet until 25 years later, Slim is a capable foreman at the ranch just Wade is merely a big kid ruled past his dictator (and successful businesswoman) mother. Coincidentally they both cease up at the ranch, still again attacked by masked raiders. Can Slim salvage the ranch and the accident prone Wade from himself?
Supposed to be funny, a one-act based on the incompetent Wade, who can't assist trip over himself. Problem is, it isn't. The grapheme of Wade is besides over the tiptop, too clumsy and frankly as well stupid to be whatsoever fun.
The tandem of Martin and Lewis certainly performed as they was directed to, but the character Wade is but also ridiculous. And the tempo killing singing, more often than not Dean's, even though beautiful, isn't helping. Wade and the singing kills whatever tempo, whatever humour and any exciting twists.
So, it isn't funny, it isn't much of a western. It isn't much of annihilation. Unfortunately.
The merely fun office was to spot Lee van Cleef in a small function.

Even Martin & Lewis had to leave due west
Like every other one-act team, even the decidedly city-fied Martin & Lewis eventually had to put on chaps and kick upward the sawdust. And like most of these mergers of western and comedy teams, it doesn't generate much entertainment. Also, it was nearly their final gasp as a partnership and the rot had gear up in. This is a mirthless comedy clumsily written and directed. Lewis is no longer the squawky scrawny mutant comic forcefulness from before---hither he is stubby and abrasive. Of course he plays the doofus, only magically and without cause, he becomes an skillful fighter in the final fight scene. That's an example of the clumsiness of this moving-picture show. Martin goes through the motions looking seriously bored. Lon Chaney Jr. is wasted---in fact he's nearly an extra. Lee Van Cleef is also in the cast, but he gets just a few unimportant lines. The ending tag of the film has Martin & Lewis speaking directly to the audience---pleading with their fans to proceed coming to their movies (patently the world knowing at the time that the pair were practically falling apart). No affair: They only fabricated 1 more movie after this junk, the as 2nd-rate 'Hollywood or Bust' (in which Martin no longer looks bored only actually angry).

Would accept liked more than of Moorehead.
Overall , I would vote this i of my favourites of the teams efforts ; they had really come of age in their penultimate movie together.
It starts off very well every bit we encompass two generations with the e'er reliable Agnes Moorehead as the sardonic dame delivering some very amusing lines as she cuts her ii descendants downwardly to size ; I particularly enjoy her contribution and miss her when she fades out.
Moving on in the story , the slapstick comedy of Jerry Lewis and the shine song delivery of Dean Martin makes this one dandy value.
Lori Nelson provides most attractive romantic interest and looks really skillful alongside Dean. Groovy colourful entertainment. Purchase it.

Delightful! I of my favorite Martin and Lewis films.
I really enjoyed this moving picture. Even the cover photo for this movie made me laugh (the one they picture on Amazon). I always thought westerns were boring equally a child and beloved the satirical parts of this western comedy.
If you peculiarly love the Martin side of Martin and Lewis, y'all will relish it. He has some really not bad songs. I idea Jerry was over-the-top in a few scenes and not at his finest, merely he still has some funny bits. His song and trip the light fantastic toe in the saloon are fantastic.
