Well, you've read the notes, you know all about sally forth and veronica fifth and susan ninth, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently sallying forth somewhere east of Diamond Bar.

I have to admit that I've never seen "Hans Christian Andersen" but "The Court Jester" is wonderful!

As for Danny Kaye songs, I have the original cast recording with Gertrude Lawrence and the studio cast recording with Risė Stevens of Lady In the Dark.  The original cast has, of course, Danny Kaye within the cast and the Risė Stevens recording has bonus tracks of Danny Kaye singing six songs from the show.  "Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)" is a wonderful song.  I also really like his versions of "It's Never Too Late to Mendelssohn" and "My Ship" in the bonus tracks.

I grew up loving the old Danny Kaye 78s - we had two or three albums, each with five or six 78rpm records inside.  Things like Anatole of Paris, The Babbitt and the Bromide, and his tongue-twisters.

I must say Ireally haven't seen all that many Danny Kaye movies...WHITE CHRISTMAS I guess is my favourite because I remember it the best.  I have vague memories of THE FIVE PENNIES and COURT JESTER and liking them.  I finally saw HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON and enjoyed that. And didn't he make a musical remake of BALL OF FIRE with Virginia Mayo in the Babs Stanwyck part & him in the Gary Cooper part?

Never been a real big Danny Kaye fan. Have only seen two of his films over the years. Just happened that way.

Court Jester and the one where he fantasizes. Name escapes me at the moment.

But my father remembers seeing him in a series of short films that were made in NY. I am sure these probably are lost to the ages.

Also from what I have read about him now has colored my opinion on him. Which is unfortuante. It is something I can't get passed.

I love Danny Kaye in most things I've seen him in. WHITE CHRISTMAS would have to be my favorite since I've seen it far more than any of his other work.

Second place would be HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN which I love for the score and that gorgeous Technicolor. I should pop the DVD of that into the player today. I'd love to see it again.

Third place would be THE COURT JESTER. Lots of fun, looks great on DVD, and any movie with Angela Lansbury is always a notch above what it would have been without her.

There are still a few Kaye movies I haven't caught up with. I've never seen THE MAN FROM THE DINER'S CLUB though I remember it coming on TV a lot when I was in my teens. I'll see it one of these days.

I've also never seen one of his first films WONDER MAN. Again, one of these days it'll come around, and I'll be ready to see it.

The Goldwyn pictures from the 40s are usually pretty padded affairs I've discovered, though the Tecnicolor always looks great. But Goldwyn used any means possible to plop those Goldwyn Girls into a movie, and it usually brings the movie to a screaching halt for me.

I also got to see Danny Kaye in TWO BY TWO. He had the audience in the palm of his hand (though I'll admit I was far more fascinated by Walter Willison).

Isn't it amazing that Danny Kaye was actually third choice for WHITE CHRISTMAS? It was supposed to reunite Bing Crosby with Fred Astaire after their last outing BLUE SKIES was such a smash. Then, when he couldn't do it, it was going to be Donald O'Connor. When he wasn't able to do it, then Danny Kaye stepped in. The dancing that Kaye does with the great Vera-Ellen in "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing" was obviously more in Astaire's line than anything Kaye was famous for doing in movies, and yet, he handled it superbly.

Here I was looking forward to a leisurely day around the house, and then I realized that I have got to mow the grass.

Curses!  :P

Today's TOD makes me realize how few Danny Kaye films I have seen....I can say that I love WHITE CHRISTMAS....but that is the only one of his films that comes to mind. I know that I have seen others but it has been sooooo many years ago....

I just read that the original KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER series is coming to DVD this year in one three disc set. That's great news for me so I can finally retire those ten bulky videotape boxes that I bought from Columbia House ten years ago. That will definitely free up some storage space.
