    « In 1953 Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made a film called The Caddy, which includes a famous scene of Jerry rollerskating through a china shop. Jerry had told the songwriter Harry Warren that in order to retain the balance, he must write a big hit song for Dean in the film. He and a Liverpoolborn composer, Jack Brooks, wrote an Italian novelty, 'That's Amore'. Dean thought the song was an insult – he hated the cod-Italian of 'When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, That's amore.' The lyric had been written by a Russian Scouser who had moved to Hollywood, and as Jack Brooks was sensitive about his own background, the last thing he would have done was insult Dino. Indeed, it's a great line and the song was ideal for him – and Jerry. »
