Well what a tough choice - BUT, for my favorite Danny Kaye film, I have to go with WHITE CHRISTMAS for three reasons:
The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing
Choreography
And Miss Vera-Ellen!
The Court Jester a very close second.
I will also add THE MAN FROM THE DINER'S CLUB just because it's so wacky. Black and white with some great support by Cara Williams (a long time favorite of mine) and a GREAT BIG computer!
Songs NOT from movies:
Danny does a wonderful version of Madame I Love Your Crepes Suzettes by Cole Porter....I only have it on a double Decca LP of his songs.
Trivia: (not as good as Rodzinski's) CBS couldn't decide whether to slot Judy Garland on Wednesday or Sunday.....James Aubrey who hated Garland gave her Sundays opposite BONANZA and Kaye ended up with Wednesdays after powerhouse shows like THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, GREEN ACRES, and DICK VAN DYKE, and ran for a few seasons. Garland lasted, barely, until spring.
Telegram from Aubrey to Garland: "We love you. You're great. You're through."
