Danny Kaye’s The Court Jester (1956) Coming to Blu-ray!
Life could not better be, because Danny Kaye’s best comedy, The Court Jester (1956) is heading to Blu-ray as part of the Paramount Presents line of collector’s releases. I consider this a “day one” purchase. By the way, “day one” is scheduled as January 26th.
Here are the details:
Paramount Presents: The Court Jester (Blu-ray + Digital)
Synopsis:
Celebrating its 65th Anniversary, Paramount’s beloved madcap musical debuts on Blu-ray, beautifully remastered from a 6K film transfer of the original VistaVision negative. In this swashbuckling comic farce, star Danny Kaye is kind-hearted entertainer Hawkins who disguises himself as the legendary king of jesters, Giacomo. Hawkins infiltrates the court of an evil villain (Basil Rathbone), but when a sorceress hypnotizes him, royal chaos ensues. Alternating identities at the snap of a finger, between swordplay and wordplay, Kaye’s comic genius shines through. The stellar supporting cast includes Glynis Johns, Angela Lansbury, Mildred Natwick, Cecil Parker, and John Carradine.
Bonus Extras:
- A New Filmmaker Focus with film historian Leonard Maltin
- Theatrical Trailer
- Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature
- Collectible packaging
