This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Danny Kaye is excellent in lots of different roles, and both stories and songs are charming!

What a terrific movie. I'd never seen it (before my time) but heard about it and put it in my queue. Danny Kaye is extraordinary, the writing is as fun and clever as it gets and the vibrant period costumes (the early days of Technicolor) make it fun to watch. It's well-directed and the story moves along briskly. Charming and wholesome.

I wish they would make movies like this again! Great family fun. Romance, Action, and so much Comedy. Danny Kaye is a talented singer and a gifted comic.

The Court Jester is my Late-Great-Father-in-Law's favorite! Therefore, it instantly became one of my favorites (unless you do not like musicals filmed in the 50's). Would be great on stage or for a Medieval Times performance. I think great casting, a great script, equally great acting, and not too long. You too will be quoting "the pellet with the poison" if you can stop laughing.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Get it, got it, good" ? This movie introduced that phrase into American Culture. The movie itself, full of shmaltz, it's a musical. Some brief moments of hilarity. No drama, gore, sex, violence, goofy premise, lots of situational comedy. In the 50s' Danny Kaye was the equivalent of Vince Vaughn but could also dance and act. Want to put on a musical? Watch this movie for some ideas.

This is a great old movie with good old Danny Kaye. Jokes drop from all over and it is great how he gets caught up in the conspiracy at the heart of the plot unwittingly and must act that he knows when he doesn't. Too funny!

Excellent family entertainmen t! Danny Kay is brilliant and talented in this well-written musical comedy which is proof that a film can be a success without use of foul words or sex scenes. I enjoyed this film over 50 years ago and even more last week.
