Special Features: 70th Anniversary | AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs
“The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.” Or is it the flagon with the dragon? One of Danny Kaye's best-loved films, THE COURT JESTER was, at the time of its release, the most expensive screen comedy to date — and a box-office flop. But over the years, it became a television matinee staple, delighting multiple generations with its witty wordplay, as well as Kaye and company’s spoofy tomfoolery with the swashbuckler’s well-worn genre conventions. The film also stars Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, Glynis Johns, Cecil Parker, Mildred Natwick and John Carradine. DIR/SCR/PROD Melvin Frank, Norman Panama. U.S., 1955, color, 101 min. NOT RATED
