I did ask for someone else to post.    In the meantime, I've had to get a new Hard-drive installed.  That should stop my previous problems. 

Know the face, but not a Dean Martin fan, so don't know him from there.

He looks a bit like Howard Keel, but I don't think it's him.

I didn't realize this would be so difficult. He was an American comedian, played the part of a drunk. One of his best acts was on the Dean martin Show and he really broke Dean up. I think you have enough now for a Google search !!

He's a funny man Tony. Yes I've seen the Dentist. I was looking at number 77 in your post today, so I know who he is, but will leave it for someone else. In fact there is another photo I came across which is quite distressing. I'll put it up after someone identifies your Man.

That is the man, Sheba
Who do you have for us all

Dino Paul Crocetti (June 7, 1917 - December 25, 1995), known famously as Dean Martin, was an American actor, singer and comedian.
One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed "The King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance.
Martin gained his career breakthrough together with fellow comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946.
They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio, television and in films.
Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor.

Martin established himself as a notable singer, recording numerous contemporary songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook.
He became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together formed the Rat Pack.
Starting in 1964, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centred on Martin's singing talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanour.
From 1974 to 1984 he was roastmaster on the popular Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which drew notable celebrities, comedians and politicians.

As a footnote, his friends said that he was the most famous drunk in the world

Sorry Tony, not Alfred, although his first name does start with an "A", and he is a Pom.  You will have seen him in quite a lot of Movies.

I think that I have seen his picture, on books, so he may be an author

But I could not even make a wild guess, to who he is
