HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR STUART!!!!

The BALL OF FIRE remake is called A SONG IS BORN and that is Kaye at his best. That and THE COURT JESTER are my faves.

The opening of JESTER, where he is multiplying, singing "They'll Never Outfox the Fox," that is a great sequence.

I remember watching "Hans Christian Andersen" in grade school, since we sang a bunch of the songs in music class. -I always loved "Thumbelina", just such a great "energy" in the song. And one of my favorite lines - "When your heart is full of love, you're nine feet tall. (You're nine feet ta-aa-all.)"

I don't think I've ever watched "White Christmas" all the way through in one sitting, but I've seen it a bunch of times in snippets.

Exclusive Danny Kaye story here at HHW. I had to interview the Seattle Mariners longtime team physician once, and he told me once that Kaye was one of the original owners of the Seattle Pilots team that came before the Mariners.

Once, while the doc was in the training room, Kaye shows up and tells him he bets he has better glutes than anyone on the team. He proceeds to lie down on his stomach on the training table and shout at the doc, "Feel my gluteus! Feel it!!!" What could the doc do but oblige one of the team owners?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STUART! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Cillaliz the photo of BeeGee is great! I’m going to make sure Keith sees it. He thinks dogs are super cute when their tongues stick out like that.

MBarnum you must watch THE COURT JESTER.

Last night, way late, TCM showed an odd little comedy called MAKE YOUR OWN BED with Jane Wyman and Jack Carson. The plot is quite possibly the most convoluted plot ever devised for a comedy. But the chemistry between Wyman and Carson was unbelievable! Staying as pretend servants at a mansion, they are expected to sleep in the same room but cannot because they aren't really married yet. But boy do they WANT to stay together. It was good to see Wyman look so sexy and frisky.

Funny exchange in the kitchen. Wyman is expected to cook a full meal, but has no clue how...

Carson: (holding stick-like object) What is this?
Wyman: That's the rhubarb pie.
Carson: Pies are supposed to be round.
Wyman: Well, all the rhubarb they gave me was long and thin.
Carson: How are people supposed to eat it?
Wyman: I don't know, they could cut slices off like a salami and stick 'em between two pieces of bread.

Later she says, "There's something wrong with the artichokes. I peeled them and there was nothing inside. Just a stem."

I'm up, I'm up, which is more than I can say for AOL.

Of course, Bing had already done White Christmas with Fred Astaire - it was called Holiday Inn - White Christmas is its remake.

I got up early just to have some time before she of the Evil Eye arrives.

What? No Mahler?

The Court Jester, as everyone here knows, is my favorite film from my childhood. For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's a must - one of the great comic films, and a cast to die for - Danny, Glynis Johns, Angela Lansbury, Mildred Natwick (as Griselda, she of the Evil Eye), Basil Rathbone, Cecil Parker - it doesn't get better.

I agree, BK, THE COURT JESTER is one of my all-time favorite films, too. The sword fights, the songs, the heart..... Wow! What a film. I have put off buying the DVD, because the video I saw was chopped to pieces. Is the DVD worth investing in?

JMK · « **Reply #43 on:** August 13, 2005, 08:18:41 AM »

Where is a photo of BeeGee? Yesterday?

I think BK is giving us an easy week on the trivia, unless it just happens to be one of those rare ones where I knew right away what it was.

My favorite Danny Kaye was his tv show, because he was one of the first people to regularly feature Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. In fact, Sergio did a whole series of guest spots on Kaye's show, which I remember fondly from my childhood.

bk · « **Reply #44 on:** August 13, 2005, 08:22:09 AM »

Yes, it's a rather easy trivia question - I didn't have a lot of time to do one of the really difficult ones.

The DVD of The Court Jester, while an early effort from Paramount, is widescreen, enhanced, with great color. If you're watching it on anything smaller than a 36inch TV you'll be very pleased. I'm hoping they'll redo it at some point, because they're so much better at transfering now and it would be a lot sharper. But, it's a very nice DVD and a must-have.

In that case, I will have to buy it.

We watched it too and sang the songs. I liked "Thumbelina", but "Inch Worm" was always my favorite - that was from HCA wasn't it?

Mornin'! First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR STUART!!!!

Second off, I'm in love with Berniece. She and I had a nice, long sleep last night. I even had several dreams - none of which I can remember now. Unfortunately, she keeps leaving a big red mark across the bridge of my nose which is most unseemly! In all seriousness, I will say that it is very bizarre to actually feel rested. My body isn't quite sure what's going on...

My roommate is driving me crazy. That's all I'm going to say about the matter.

I love "The Court Jester." I also enjoy "Hans Christian Andersen" and "White Christmas." Other than those, I don't know from Danny Kaye movies.

I learned so much new stuff about Danny Kaye a few weeks ago, with that Columbo trivia question. When we played trivia with a group that was here (using the HHW trivia question), someone was convinced that Danny Kaye had to be the one who had been in the beloved Christmas film. A wrong road, but learned a lot about Kaye.

My favorite Danny Kaye moment (in addition to his kibbitzing with Mrs. Miller on the old MERV GRIFFIN SHOW) is the joy of his singing "Wonderful Copenhagen" in HCA. Not sure why, but remembering that moment always makes me happy. When the play COPENHAGEN was playing, I would think of Kaye just about every time I heard the title.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #54 on:** August 13, 2005, 09:36:18 AM »

Indeed Cillaliz. Inchworm is from HCA. His voice is so nice on those songs.

BK, I can't recall (and am too lazy to look up) whether you won the cowl from that opening COURT JESTER number at auction or it got too expensive. But I wonder what happened to the cowls of the little people, the miniature Black Foxes in that number.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #55 on:** August 13, 2005, 09:49:08 AM »

Hmmm...

I'm guessing from the waves of "rumbling" every couple of minutes that there must be some sort of Harley-Davidson event going on today here - or at least through here.
