An absolute favorite classic film of mine. A few clips from THE COURT JESTER, starring Danny Kaye as a hapless freedom fighter who goes undercover as the new Jester for an unjust king. It is perhaps Kaye's finest and most satisfying film. It was said that NO film ever truly captured the full talent of Kaye, but Court Jester comes the closest.
In this clip a hypnotized Kaye, triggered by the snap of a finger, faces Basil Rathbone in a sword fight. Once he hears a finger snapped Kaye switches back and forth between mastery of the sword and his real personality, and untrained scaredy cat. [YT]AfyZ1bWv7Ls[/YT]
The opening musical number, where Kaye impersonates the Robin Hood type character of the film, The Black Fox. [YT]796bHaAtlkE[/YT]
Kaye, now disguised as a jester meets the king and his inner circle and must be quick on his feet to fit the part he's playing. [YT]cysxO5Z-0L8[/YT]
Another of the film's wonderful musical numbers, as Kaye entertains the king's court with song and dance. [YT]G9GWMbrEu_g[/YT]
