Summary: The Court Jester
Comment: Is the brew that is true in the chalice from the palace or the flagon with the dragon? You'll never know unless you take the time to enjoy one of the greatest Danny Kaye movies of all time! Also starring Angela Lansbury, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone.....does it get any better?
Customer Rating:

Summary: Danny Kaye at his BEST!
Comment: I am partial to Danny Kaye, he is one of my all-time favorite actors, but it's not just partiality talking, when I say that this is one of the best comedies ever made! I LOVE IT!!! Thankfully, I was raised watching old movies, and I am making sure that all of my friend's children are made to watch this one, because it starts them on the path to appreciating classic comedy; it's definately Danny Kaye at his best!

Summary: A Timeless Classic Comedy Full of Laughs
Comment: I purchased this dvd based on the reviews and was not disappointed. This is a gem of a comedy! It has it all - jokes, physical comedy, musical comedy and is good clean fun for the whole family. One would think this role was made for Danny Kaye (and perhaps it was)because he is simply brilliant throughout the film.
Kaye plays a role similar to that of one of Robin Hood's Merry Men but he is not taken seriously by the others, including its leader, the Black Fox. In a twist of fate, Kaye is given the opportunity to prove himself when he pretends to be a famous court jester, also known in darker circles as an infamous assassin. Kaye's goal is to gain access to the castle for the Black Fox's men so that they can dispose of the illegitimate king and put in his place the rightful heir to the throne, a baby.
This task is easier said than done as he must do battle with all sorts to accomplish his mission, including the king's daughter who has an amorous eye on Kaye.
My only disappointment was the lack of English subtitles but the sound is nice and crisp.

Summary: Just Great!
Comment: This is one of the greatest and most carefree movies ever! The DVD shipped fast and plays great. My little boys even love it! The swordfight is their favorite part.
