Product: The Court Jester [VHS] (1956)
Rating: 4.0
Real gem of a movie
This is a genuinely funny and charming movie. The cast all have tremendous fun, and there's plenty of time for songs, comical, panto-type escapades and romantic interludes. Basil Rathbone, as the obligatory villain, wields a fencing sword with particular menace. This is the sort of old-fashioned entertainment we should be bringing our children up watching. Good stuff.
