Funny and enjoyable Danny Kaye movie
I love Danny Kaye and this is one of his better movies. It's funny and especially the part where he is hypnotized and goes from one character to another when a finger is snapped. It has the famous "vessel with the pestle" routine which is very good. This movie has a pretty good storyline and the other players are good, particularly Angela Lansbury as the King's daughter who wants to marry Danny's character, the Jester, Giocomo, as does the other female lead, Glynis Johns. Mildred Natwick is very funny as the sorceress who hypnotizes Giocomo. Altogether a very funny and enjoyable movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Danny Kaye has talent
Saw this as a kid and remembered being impressed. Got it for the grandkids, and there is some excellent plot development, good physical humor, and is entertaining seeing the female leads before they made big movies.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Funny and entertaining! Danny Kaye is hilarious!
Love this movie! Danny Kaye is hilarious and all the crazy mix-ups and mixed up identities keep the movie quite entertaining. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the sound and picture are just a little fuzzy like old movies sometimes are, but nothing horrible, and there were no subtitles I could turn on.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

An absolute comedy classic!
One of the best and most classic musical comedies ever made, this movie is spectacularly shot in vibrant Technicolor with gorgeous sets and costumes. It features Danny Kaye in one of his best performances. Every aspect of this film is five star, from the story line, to the script, the casting, the performances, the music and lyrics and it even has a remarkably clever opening scene featuring Kaye singing a song elaborating on the credits. Though the most expensive comedy films made for its time, it was a box office and critical failure upon initial release, recovering only half of its $4,000,000 budget. However once it became a regular television matinee offering, it gained classic status and critical raves for being the gem that it is. It now carries a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If you have never seen it, you owe it to yourself to do so! That was the good. The not so good, the DVD is not in high def, nor is the film available in blu ray at least as of 02/19. So the transfer copy is not especially vivid or clear. And though it is recorded in Dolby Digital, it is monophonic and not in surround sound so the audio quality is lackluster. However, these issues notwithstanding, the DVD is still a good, very watchable copy of an amazing film and well worth (and should be required) adding to any movie collection.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The Court Jester
This was one of my mom's and my favorite movies when I was growing up. It's not new and flashy, but if you like the kind of movie Hollywood used to be known for, wholesome comedy, good guy always wins type movie, then this is for you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

One of Danny Kaye’s Greatest.
This dvd is a good clean family friendly movie to watch. It has many famous actors and actresses from the ‘40s and ‘50s who do a superb job together on this film. It is comical and musical and keeps the audience’s attention.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
