Der Hofnarr
David Koenig reflects on Danny Kaye's legacy and The Court Jester, "His legacy has dimmed with the passage of time. His greatest works. . .endure today only as memories in the minds of aging members of his audiences. . .much of his TV work has not aged particularly well. Whimsy was of another time". However, Koenig sees Kaye's film work in a different light, "History has smiled on individual pictures--in particular the holiday staple of "White Christmas" and "The Court Jester". . .the medieval romp has steadily gained a reputation as one of the greatest comedies of all time."
