Product: The Court Jester [VHS] (1956)
Rating: 5.0
Seminal Comedy
Here was Danny Kaye at his finest. This is transcendent comedy. Pacing, framing, music, and pristine support from some of the best comedic actors in the business, and in the case of Basil Rathbone, who displays an unusual flair for the comedic straight man role, a marvelous preservation of that worthy's versatility. In my opinion, this film, coupled with The Inspector General, represent Kaye's pinnacle performances in his career. You should own them both!The Court JesterInspector General [VHS]
