My gut feeling is that Danny Kaye is generally likable on screen.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-45520202568838050752015-02-09T19:05:25.711-06:002015-02-09T19:05:25.711-06:00I haven't seen this film, but I'm going to...I haven't seen this film, but I'm going to give you another vote for The Court Jester.

I get the impression that he's a lot like Bing Crosby for me--immediately likable, and that's really enough a lot of the time.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-38279244208579413312015-02-09T07:51:41.219-06:002015-02-09T07:51:41.219-06:00I do know this scene--I haven't seen the whole...I do know this scene--I haven't seen the whole film, though. <br /><br />The pellet of poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-69344922134867013952015-02-09T07:46:31.945-06:002015-02-09T07:46:31.945-06:00That's pretty much it.

My sister and I used to watch it, and still quote Kaye's paniced 'I didn't do it!" to each other. Haven't watched in a few years, and I had no idea it was nominated for an Oscar. If you want more Danny Kaye 'The Court Jester' is wonderful, and 'Wonder Man' is good too.
