Jersey Shore 'Reality' TV and Oscar Wilde: Perfec.This Day in History: Mutiny on the Bounty.Friday's Forgotten Books: An Unfortunate Prairie O.NATIONAL TRAIN DAY- Saturday, May 7 - A Week Ahead.The tongue-trippingly, saucy songs are once again written by Danny Kaye's wife, Sylvia Fine, and once again they require the dexterity of a genius to perform. Of course, this being a Danny Kaye film, nothing goes right in this great script written by the fabulous Norman Panama and Melvin Frank who also directed. On the short trip, Jean and Hawkins grow closer, though she is leery of his bumbling. To that end, Hawkins travels - disguised as Giacomo, a Court Jester ( King of Jesters and Jester of Kings) - to the King's castle with Maid Jean (Glynis Johns), on an errand to pick up the baby (with the mark of the Purple Pimpernel) who is being hidden by loyalists within the castle's walls. Their aim is to overthrow the corrupt King Roderick I (Cecil Parker), by putting the rightful king - who happens to be an infant - on the throne. They are led by a stalwart type known as The Black Arrow. (As I've said a million times before: nobody does ' suave' like Danny Kaye.)īack to the beginning: Hubert Hawkins is a carnival performer with a travelling band of acrobats and jugglers who are really part of a group of revolutionaries (of the Robin Hood variety) hanging out in the forest. Danny Kaye is a joy to watch in this as well as the other scenes in which he must assume the guise of a super confident, suave and practised assassin. It's all in rhyme and Hawkins is as confused as we are. the vessel with the pestle is the brew that is true.! I smile just thinking about the hilarious scene in which Mildred Natwick playing Griselda, a kind of witch, tries to explain to Danny Kaye playing Hubert Hawkins (mistaken for an assassin), which of the cups at the banquet holds the poison.
