Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Martin - Lewis in Motion
Gorgeously original slapdash comedy,suave Dean Martin and geeky Jerry Lewis team up with badass ride and great dane to cruise to Hollywood.Hilarious nostalgic fun,one of Frank Tashlin's best.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Martin and Lewis part with their greatest film.
'Hollywood Or Bust', along with 'Artists And Models', is the finest Martin and Lewis vehicle - both were directed by genius Frank Tashlin, a former cartoonist who brought a comic-strip sensibility to his movies.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Dean and Jerry Go Bust
"Hollywood or Bust" (1956) marked the cinematic swansong of Martin and Lewis, with the comedy team on its last legs. Despite Frank Tashlin's inventive direction, the film is terribly uneven. Jerry has some memorable routines, but it's evident that Dino has had enough - the chemistry is gone. Still, it remains one of the duo's better efforts.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Dane lovers this is for you!
Overlooked for being on the cover this movie is lots of fun because of Mr. Bascombe, the Great Dane! Lovers of Great Danes are bound to be tickled by this movie by what the dog does. A favorite in our house by people and danes living here!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great look @ america in 1956
the film is a panoramic look (some will say cliched look) at america in the fifties(no warts) just good clean fun-they say dean and jerry weren't getting along, but i can't tell that from the film.....i hadn't seen it in a long time and it still looks good!
