Why?
If you crave action, suspense, and romance then this is the film for you. The lovable Danny Kaye stars as the main role. (Spoiler if you know who this man is then you might just be an old timer. The film was made in 1955.)
What in the world?
The Court Jester is a tale of bravery where Danny Kaye is trying to save the heir to the throne. Every scene in the movie has something happen so if you get bored easily you shouldn't. I myself struggle with keeping up with movies and found this one thrilling the whole time. This film is family-friendly with only a few kisses and they show a butt so watch out. The film also pays homage to the wonderful Scarlet Pimpernel.
Personal thoughts
The film was a cinematic masterpiece considering the time. A few of the jokes were insensitive but that's to be expected of early film. I found myself laughing a lot. Favorite part had to be the pointless rhymes that they came up with near the end. No spoilers here. I would highly recommend watching this with those who you care about so that you can enjoy many a laugh with them.
