5.0 out of 5 stars ROAN GROUP DVD is the best!, October 14, 2002

By	Paul J. Mular (San Carlos, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Inspector General (DVD)

Alot has been said about this wonderful movie, but with several versions offered, which DVD is the best? I learned the hardway, buying several copies until I decided for the more expensive ROAN GROUP DVD. They mastered their DVD from a very nice 35mm TECHNICOLOR print, the other DVD's I bought were mastered from 16mm EASTMANCOLOR prints (grainy, dark, and pale colors). It is worth it to pay the higher price, you get what you pay for.

4.0 out of 5 stars A DANNY KAYE FAN, February 1, 2002

By	J JARVIS "Nostalgia Fan" (HOLT, NORFOLK United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Inspector General (DVD)

I have just purchased The Inspector General. As i am still a 59 year old teenager i remember seeing it when it first came out. My favourite Danny Kaye movie is still The Court Jester but this is close second. So many funny characters including the great Alan Hale who will always be remembered as Little John to Errol Flynn`s Robin Hood. Elsa Lancaster as the Mayors wife, Gene Raymond ( with a wonderful hair style ) as the Mayor and of course Walter Slezak as phony medicine man who enlists the simple minded Danny for his wicked ways.Danny Kaye was always at his best playing characters who were certainly not the sharpest tools in the box. An absolute must for any Danny Kaye fans collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun!!!, February 1, 2003

By	Gregory Nyman (Winchendon, MA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Inspector General [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Danny Kaye is superb in this movie about a bumble who is mistaken for an Inspector General, and how he pulls it off is worth the price of the film. The music is marvelous, and Kaye's machinations as he sings and dances to it are classic. Many lessons of life are involved in this movie. Friendship, loyalty, and especially "honesty" come to play, and the ending is so genuine, that it almost brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommended!!
