Product: The Court Jester [VHS] (1956)
Rating: 5.0
"Court Jester" is Danny Kaye at his best
"The Court Jester" is one of Danny Kaye's best--full of his gangling-oaf humor, and with some of the best fencing on screen (but who would expect anything less when he's fencing Basil Rathbone?). Angela Lansbury as a young and gorgeous princess is a plus, too. A big spoof of medieval inheritance wars, with Robin Hood-like freedom fighters, bufoonish lords of the castle and fairy-tale costumes--fun! And it's on DVD, too!
