Some cheap laughs, especially at the end; irritating sometimes - but enjoyable for the most part. Had they sustained the initial pace this could have been a classic. The acting of the jester and everything else falls (sometimes dramatically) in quality towards the end. Kids might enjoy the cheap laughs though.
Though I have fond childhood memories of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON, this is the only Danny Kaye film that truly catches his genius in a bottle. Hysterical!
[Rewatch]
I film I loved as a child and this is my first viewing since and was full of Nostalgia for me. No doubt about it that Danny Kaye was a great showman and he was very entertaining throughout. Clever witty songs, along with some great comical scenes such as the Vessel with the Pestle. A feel good film.
Rewatched this, and it's even better than I remember. The mix of rapid-fire dialogue, Danny Kaye's incredible musical and comedic gifts, the colorful, vibrant sets, and a furious pace all combine to create a damn entertaining, rewatchable film. Time has slightly dulled its brand of humor, and I wish the various plotlines hadn't been resolved so readily and easily, but it's one of the finest musical comedies out there. By the way, what happened to Princess Gwendolyn at the end?
