A Little Cinematic Gem


Any of you ever seen "The Court Jester"? On the other hand, I can bet you anything you've seen "The Princess Bride." Now if you like the latter, do yourself a favor and check out this cute 1956 musical comedy starring Danny Kaye. The score is catchy, the acting sharp and enjoyable, and the litany of tongue-twisters and alliterations kept me cracking up. It's bizarre, easy to watch, and goofy. Go for it. (And then tell me if you also totally got a resemblance between Kaye and Steve Martin. I would be surprised if Martin didn't learn a few of his tricks from the old jester.)
