Review of The Court Jester (1955) by Bradley C — 22 Jul 2013

I highly recommend this movie.

This movie is so great. I think anyone can enjoy this, even though it is old (not quite when dinosaurs roamed the earth but close) the humor is ageless. Danny Kaye does an excellent job (as always) and shows some amazing comedic chops. His jester is fantastic and his language impersonation at one point in the film had me in stitches. I think the most memorable part is of course the jousting sequence. In particular finding out which vessel had the poison and which one had the brew that is true. Also if you want to see a young Angela Lansbury you should check this out. This is truly a remarkable movie and if you haven't seen it yet, you should take some time to watch it.
