Angela Lansbury, Basil Rathbone, Glynis Johns, and Mildred Natwick, among others, round out the cast. Danny Kaye for sure carries the day with his witty one liners, crazy rhyming scenes and especially his suave portrayal of Giacomo, when he’s hypnotized and under the influence of Griselda. You’re in for a treat with “The Court Jester”. There are also some great musical numbers, surprising choreography, and beautiful matte paintings, all skillfully written and directed by Melvin Frank and Norman Panama.

And up next, it’s Ester Williams and Fernando Lamas in “Dangerous When Wet”
