Product: The Court Jester [VHS] (1956)
Rating: 5.0
A wonderful addition to your collection
What fun! Danny Kaye, with music by his wife, Sylvia Fine, is in "Fine" form in this classic. Danny plays Giacomo, the "King of Jesters," as he infiltrates the corrupt king's court in an effort to restore the rightful heir to the throne. Along the way, there are many hilarious scenes and when they get to the "chalice from the palace and the vessel with the pestle," you'll roll on the floor laughing. The supporting cast of Basil Rathbone, Glynis Johns, Angela Lansbury, and the great character actress Mildred Natwick only add to the fun. I define a "classic" as a movie that can be watched over and over and be enjoyed with every viewing. The Court Jester certainly more than meets that criteria.
