Personally, I think "The Court Jester" is his best movie. But this ranks right up there behind "The Court Jester".
shareI couldn't possibly pick between Court Jester and this one, they're both my favorites, though I will admit this one is a little better on not re-using the same frames over again.

Has a lot of great one liners....
"A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five."

"A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five."
this is a rip-off of a groucho marx line from DUCK SOUP. really the only thing different is the phrasing is "a four year old child" rather than "a child of five."
i don't have anything against this movie, but if that's one of your favorite lines, it's from 12 years earlier.
"Rampart: Squad 51."
IMDB can be quite confusing with the signatures at the bottom, as I reckon the Duck Soup quote is just their signature. And I guess they didn't have a one-liner from this movie to give.
Done mine in italics! :
"So this is the planet Houston"
are you old? I had a tough time getting through this one. Danny Kaye is awesome, but his films haven't aged well. The gags in 'Kid From Brooklyn' were better...
shareHaha, I wouldn't classify myself as old, I'm 23 years of age now, and was 16 when I made that first post. My tastes are somewhat unusual, but I like to think that this is a reaction to the gradual decline in (popular) artistic talent we have witnessed in the last 20 odd years.
shareI agree, but I still don't think this is a good movie. It's very silly. I like silly, but I like clever too. That part where Vera-Ellen tapped on her toes was pretty good, though.
shareThis and The Court Jester are my all time favorites. The first time I saw these films, I had tears running down my cheek from laughing so hard. :) Granted this movie was a bit better than the Court Jester, but both are equally funny :)
shareI've just seen this film for the first time. I've never seen Danny Kaye so entertaining as he is in this one. This needs to be shown more often.
shareIf this is one of Kaye's best I would hate to see some of his bad films!
It's that man again!!
i think this one is very amusing, but The Court Jester is my favourite.
shareI think The Court Jester is his best film.
