Summary: we played our parts verry well captian
Review: I have seen the Court Jester and so far it is definitely my favorite danny kaye movie. He is the most incredible actor there ever was and the most tellanted.I think he could speak 7 languages and can talk in the most confusing tung twisting manner at such a speed you just cant believe your ears he could also sing,dance,and act. There is no othr actor or person I know of that can do as much as he. I very much recomend that you see this movie.

Summary: Get It? Got It. Good.
Review: This clever spoof of swashbucklers has a great script by Panama and Frank (it's full of wonderful catchphrases) and a super cast: Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, and Cecil Parker. As noted by the other on-line reviewers, the actors all look like they're having a fabulous time and give wonderful performances. Lots of movies are said to be "for the whole family" -- this one really is.

Summary: PRIME DANNY KAYE
Review: Some consider THE COURT JESTER Kaye's best film; while this is definitely arguable, it's a highly entertaining spoof on swashbuckler/Robin Hood type films. The colour is a bit gaudy on VHS but on recent viewing ,the DVD transfer is bright and clear. The poison's in the pellet/vessel/pestle routine is almost exceedingly clever but the songs by Sylvia Fine (Danny's wife) are cleverly engaging. Glynis Johns makes a delicious Maid Jean, and Angela Lansbury is rather cunning and cheekily selfish as Lady Gwendolyn (I can't get over how much more attractive Lansbury become as she matured) Mildred Natwick does her usual scene stealing and Basil Rathbone excels as menacing Sir Ravenhurst. The movie is abundant with charm and laughter (Kaye even makes singing a lullaby to the baby King heartfelt and touching.)

Summary: Still got it
Review: The Court Jester is an old family favorite. We could all quote lines, sing the songs etc. So, after all those years, it was with some trepidation that I watched this film. Had it dated? Would today's reality match up with yesterday's memory? Would I still find it hilarious? I'm delighted to say, no, yes and yes. It's still got it! This has to be one of the funniest comedies ever made. The actors must have had a great time making this, they all look so great. Don't miss it.

Summary: Wonderful movie - you can watch it over and over
Review: I love this movie! I have seen it many, many times since I was a child. Every time the "brew that is true" part comes up, I can't help but laugh. My whole family laughs about that part of the movie. Danny Kaye is marvelous.

Summary: Amazing: German Version good, too!
Review: I got in touch with this movie when I was 8 or 10 or so, as my grandfather showed us what he had recorded with his brand new VCR. For years, I only knew the German version, synchronized by a great artist of tongue like Danny Kaye was: Georg Thomala. He died a few weeks ago. All I wanted to add at this place is that Thomala's work was great, and even if he did never reach Kaye's artistic level as a comedy actor, he was a great synchronizer and kept pace with Danny Kayes speed of speaking, even the jokes around the famous Phrase "Der Wein mit der Pille ist in dem Becher mit dem Fächer, der Pokal mit dem Portal hat den Wein gut und rein." don't lose anything as they usually do in synchronizations. My favourite part: "Would you raise your arm? ... The other one!" and the lullabye.
