If you haven't seen this movie, watch it. If anything, find the sword fight between Ravenhurst and Giacomo. Not only is it more comedy, it's one of the best sword fights put to screen. Basil Rathbone is a master.

Danny Kaye excelled in playing mistaken identity films (government inspector, Walter mitty, wonder man & a lot more). This is a master class in how to play these roles. He was a naturally entertaining man eg: he once took over Russell harty's talk show in the warm up for ages, getting the audience in stitches and delaying the start by about 30 minutes. Immensely talented hilarious and by all accounts genuinely kind. He was also able to pilot multiple types of airplanes and was an expert cook of Japanese food.

Saw this several times as a kid thanks to 16mm reels we could check out from our metro library. I learned how to thread the reels on the 16mm projector my dad borrowed from work (before anyone had VCR's) and we'd watch this, "The Inspector General", "Knock on Wood", Basil Rathbone /Nigel Bruce "Sherlock Holmes" mysteries (that I always fell asleep to) and Phil Silvers in "1,001 Nights" among many other oldies that my dad checked out from the library on 16mm reels in big canvas bags. Fun times...

I've been trying to find this film online for years; Danny Kaye's comedic timing is absolute perfection, and damn was Angela Lansbury a smokeshow back in the day. As hilarious as this scene is, I think my favourite has to be shortly after Griselda the witch hypnotizes Hubert, and he transforms from his bumbling, cowardly self to a debonair swashbuckler at a snap of the fingers... from anybody. Cut to a scene of swashbuckler Hubert making a daring entrance through the princess' window to woo her, followed by her father coming to speak with her: "If my father finds you here, he'll have you executed like that! *snap*" and now cowardly Hubert has no idea where he is, why he's there, or what's going on. We're then treated to a few minutes of Gwendolyn and King Roderick arguing back and forth, repeatedly snapping their fingers, while Danny Kaye rapidly transitions between bold and frightened in the background. He does nothing but open and close a set of curtains a few times while changing expressions, but my God is it gold.

I was watching an old movie "Never Say Die" (1939) on KZbin recently. I was surprised that the "Vessel with the pestle" routine was apparently derived from a similar routine in that movie. Although it wasn't poison in a cup, but a bullet in a gun, the similarity is striking. The routine in "Never Say Die" begins at about 1:13:43.
