Artists and Models	comment	Artists and Models is a 1955 Paramount musical comedy film directed by Frank Tashlin and starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in their fourteenth feature together as the comedy team Martin and Lewis. The film co-stars Shirley MacLaine and Dorothy Malone, with Eva Gabor and Anita Ekberg also appearing in brief roles.Rick Todd (Martin) is a struggling painter and smooth-talking ladies' man. His goofy young roommate Eugene Fullstack (Lewis) is an aspiring children's author who has a passion for comic books, especially those of the mysterious and sexy "Bat Lady." Each night, Eugene has horrific screaming nightmares inspired by those comics, about a bizarre bird-like superhero called "Vincent the Vulture", which he describes aloud in his sleep. Meanwhile, a neighbor in their apartment building, Abigail Parker (Malone), is a professional artist who works for a New York comic book company and the creator of "Bat Lady." Her energetic roommate is Bessie Sparrowbush (MacLaine), her co-worker and Abigail's model for "Bat Lady." Abigail becomes frustrated at work at the increasingly lurid and bloodthirsty stories her money-hungry publisher Mr. Murdock (Eddie Mayehoff) demands, and she quits to become an anti-comics activist, dragging Eugene into her crusade as an example of how trashy comic books can warp impressionable minds, just at the same time that Rick gets a job with the company after pitching the adventures of "Vincent the Vulture" from Eugene's dreams, having to keep his work a secret from both her and Eugene.

Artists and Models / int_2f2f8418	type	Artistic License â€“ Film Production
Artists and Models / int_2f2f8418	comment	Artistic License â€“ Film Production: The Better America Forum, on which Abigail and Eugene appear, is filmed using RCA TK-10 TV cameras. Rick catches the broadcast on a color TV set, which shows a color picture despite the fact that TK-10s were black-and-white cameras. It was probably done this way as filming or converting the brief scene shown on the set to monochrome would've been too much trouble for little payoff.

Eugene struggles with his dicky flapping straight in front of his face when he tries to powder his face, in typical Jerry Lewis physical comedy style, while Rick chides him for being so out of date.
