Review of The Inspector General (1949) by Orlok W — 01 Feb 2015
A pleasant farce with a fine cast, gives Danny Kaye a chance to show off his many talents, and also tells a story that is quite humorous. Based on a 19th Century satiric play by Nicolai Gogol, Kaye plays Georgi, a decent fellow who works for the bullying Yakov (Walter Slezak).
Yakov and Georgi travel around the countryside selling "Yakov's elixir" which is supposed to cure all kinds of illnesses--The Inspector General is a timeless classic, taken from a classic and is one of the best showcases for the many talents of Danny Kaye.
.. Technicolor Buffoonary!!
