Lately, I have been watching videos of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, I had forgotten how funny those roasts were, Don Rickles and the rest of the bunch from back then. I don’t think there is anything today that compares to the humor of that era. Foster Brooks was just great, as was Joey Bishop, even Peter Falk could bring a laugh.
That was real talent from real men.
I think Dean Martin was by far the most talented and likable of the bunch. Guy did everything really well. Obviously singing, comedy, westerns, Matt Helm, etc...
Loved Peter Falk in Colombo.
Check out this funny clip of him, in his usually bummy style and worn out trench coat entering a men’s homeless shelter to speak to a potential witness in a murder case.
