I fuckin love Danny Kaye! I based my whole life on The Court Jester and Hans Christian Andersen.

Thanks tomdog. I'm definitely going to set up my tivo for this.

I love "The Court Jester"! I wish they were showing it tonight :-( TCM did show it a few months ago however but it was very random and not part of a set of movies like this. I hope you enjoy, have a great weekend!

you are the uglyest man alive !!
