King of Cool [DVD] : The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show / Time LIfe. 2011 DVD Edition. New York, New York : Time LIfe, 2011. 160 Mins./Color. The Dean Martin Variety Show had everything - sensational song and dance, hilarious comedy and a star like no other. The show, which debuted in 1965, was tops in the ratings for years. Its extremely likeable host gave the show a unique touch. He didn't rehearse - but that made it all the more fun for viewers. Dean's endearing charm through little mistakes and flubs only enhanced the easygoing flair he had for entertaining his audience. He was a buddy to all the guys and a darling to the ladies. Today, he's cool to all ages. Includes comedy from Bob Newhart, Rodney Dangerfield, Peter Sellers, Tim Conway and music performances by Tony Bennett and Duke Ellington and many more. 20120921.
