Danny Kaye spoofs Robin Hood and Scaramouche in this inventive slapstick swashbuckler. Portraying the clownish but good-hearted entertainer Hawkins, he infiltrates the court of the corrupt Basil Rathbone (up to his usual brand of cruel villainy) disguised as the legendary king of jesters, Giacomo. After a court sorceress hypnotizes Hawkins into believing he is also a legendary assassin, Hawkins has more identities than he can keep straight, and Kaye zips back and forth between them at, literally, a snap of the fingers. Comic highlights include a wonderful sword fight with Rathbone in which he constantly switches identities, and the classic "chalice from the palace/vessel with pestle" wordplay as Hawkins plays "hide the poison" and forgets where it is. With comely Glynis Johns as his spy-in-arms love interest, Angela Lansbury as the scheming princess, and Mildred Natwick as the dotty spellcaster, this is Danny Kaye at his comic best. --Sean Axmaker Features: Product Details: Genre: ComedyFormat: Color, Widescreen, NTSC, Closed-captioned, DVD, AnamorphicContributor: Mildred Natwick, Glynis Johns, Robert Middleton, Angela Lansbury, Herbert Rudley, Michael Pate, John Carradine, Edward Ashley, Noel Drayton, Cecil Parker, Danny Kaye, Melvin Frank, Norman Panama, Basil Rathbone See moreLanguage: English, FrenchRuntime: 1 hour and 41 minutesAspect Ratio ‏ : ‎ 1.85:1Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ NoMPAA rating ‏ : ‎ NR (Not Rated)Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.75 inches; 3.36 ouncesDirector ‏ : ‎ Melvin Frank, Norman PanamaMedia Format ‏ : ‎ Color, Widescreen, NTSC, Closed-captioned, DVD, AnamorphicRun time ‏ : ‎ 1 hour and 41 minutesRelease date ‏ : ‎ January 1, 1956Actors ‏ : ‎ Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, Cecil ParkerLanguage ‏ : ‎ English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono), French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono)
