Absolutely! I could see the differences in their dancing even by the way Jerry moves his head, for example... his head turns to the direction of his kicks - simple stuff like that. He was much more polished and 'showy' in his performances.
I just finished reading "Dean and Me: A Love Story." Wonderful book and I wish Jerry would write another - more focused on his work after the break-up. But it gave me a real appreciation for his relationship with Dean Martin -
I'd never seen "Living it Up" before yesterday on TCM, and "The Caddy" a few days ago. SO much fun! I've always enjoyed Jerry's solo movies immensely, but will now look to expand more into the Martin-Lewis films as well. The affection was/is so apparent.
