Although Martins movie roles receive in-depth attention in this incisive biography, as does his career-defining partnership with Jerry Lewis, details of Dinos 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 Schoells chronicle is a sympathetic portrait that recreates the life and times of one of Americas favorite entertainers.
