It's downright unique, especially the way they lean back against the little walls holding what look like wall-holders. Never saw anything quite like it before or since. And the singing with Garner standing (or leaning) there is inspired. I like it enormously, it's different and a lot more eccentric than simply standing on a stage.

One of the most bizarre clips around. Look at that set!

Watch Garner's facial expressions as Dean Martin sings.

Dean is supposed to be some sort of errand boy in the skit so they have him standing below Garner and Bing.

Gee, Dean Martin wasn't that short ! I know he was taller than Bing, maybe not as tall as Garner. Not sure why they filmed it that way to make Dean appear way shorter than the others ?

@Onlymusical stars used to lean on throughs between takes so there clothes wouldn't get wrinkled.
