5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 7 wonders of comedy, May 2, 2002

By	Vikram Doraiswami (New Delhi India) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wonder Man (1945) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Wonder Man" may not have the most credible of storylines of Danny Kaye's work, but it has some of the finest moments of pure anarchic ad-libbing and timing you will ever get to see after the Marx brothers.
The story--of diametrically opposite twins, one a shy suburban academic and the other a wacky showman with mafia links--is curious and the plot is strained. But that does not restrict the brilliant Danny Kaye. In a memorable scene after the twin in showbusiness is killed, his ghost takes over the body of the twin in central park. And Danny Kaye gets to do his celebrated Russian opera singer routine, which is itself worth the price of the DVD or VHS. The ending, with Danny Kaye doing Opera in pig-Italian, is to be seen to be believed.
This movie is right up there with "Duck Soup", "A night at the Opera" and other such classics of comedy

5.0 out of 5 stars Buster and Danny, December 17, 1999

By	Chris Fergo (LI, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wonder Man (1945) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

BUSTER! This movie is one of the funniest I've ever seen. Danny Kaye is hilarious playing 2 roles: a whimpy librarian and his ghost twin brother- Buster! The scenes in Prospect Park (aka Potato salad),the deli, and some of the on-stage routines are classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious! Danny Kaye is the best at being anyone!, December 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Wonder Man (1945) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is about twin brothers brought back together through the death of one. Danny Kaye portrayes both brothers and is at his best being two different people. The music and dancing are wonderful and the singing as well. But it's Danny Kaye making you laugh that's makes this movie one of his all time best. This movie helps show our children what good clean fun is all about.
