Product: The Court Jester [VHS] (1956)
Rating: 5.0
A Funny Idea,.., A Jester!
I love this movie. I am using the present tense because I believe this movie is a classic and can be enjoyed by all ages. Hysterically funny! To prove my point, I recently showed it at a backyard gathering which included all ages groups--and guess what? They all enjoyed it. That's a true testament to Danny Kaye's timeless appeal. The movie takes place in medieval times, and Danny Kaye is a frustrated Robin Hood wannabe. He is given an assignment to guard the future king of England, a baby, and through various disguises and mishaps he plows through to a hilarious ending. The movies stars Angela Lansbury, Glynnis Johns, and Basil Rathbone. Please see this movie if you'd like to feel good and need an old fashioned belly laugh!
