One of Danny Kaye's lesser known films, but on a par with classics like Walter Mitty and Court Jester. Kaye is at his best playing the unwitting pawn who always comes out on top. A definite "must-have" for any fan of Danny Kaye's work. Now how about a DVD version?

This is one of Danny Kaye's funniest and greatest I think. It's a must to see for any Danny kaye fan or fan of comedy and is one oyu never tire of watching. Virginia Mayo and Vera Ellen are great in it as well.

I purchased the video for one reason--to see one of Steve Cochran's early appearances in film.I planned to ff thru most of the scenes, but what a treat--I really liked it. I had forgotten what a great physical comic timing Danny Kaye had. Steve was a big surprise too--usually the bad guy, tough cop or misfit, he was really funny in the role of the boxer who kept being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Virginia Mayo was lovely as always--Vera Ellen a dynamo dancer, Danny Kaye at his best and Steve going with the flow. All in all, a funny movie with beautiful people, sadly, all no longer with us.

This was almost a 100% remake of Harold Lloyd's The Milky Way years earlier. Danny Kaye, as usual, made it even funnier as a most untough lad becoming of supposed champion caliber in the boxing ring due to fights fixed in his favor, It's well worth watching for laughs.

Its years since I have seen this film but I was not dissapionted, a laugh from begining to end, you will not go far wrong if you like to laugh with this film Danny Kaye just has that magic he's a master comedian and will brighten up any day. I recomend this one to all who love a good belly laugh.

Thank you! I recived my purchases very quickly so that I was able to enjoy them soon!!
